Questions & Answers about คุณ　ชื่อ　อะไร　คะ

Why is the word for "what" at the end of the sentence?
In Thai, question words like อะไร (what) usually go at the end of the sentence, in the exact spot where the answer will go. Think of it as saying "You are named what?".
Is there a word for "is" in this sentence?
No. The word ชื่อ means "name", but it also acts as the verb "to be named". Thai doesn't need a separate verb for "is" here.
Where is the word for "your"?
Thai often skips possessive words when the meaning is clear from context. คุณ means "you", so putting it next to ชื่อ (name) is enough to mean "your name" without needing extra grammar words.
Why does the speaker use คะ instead of ค่ะ?
Both are polite ending words used by female speakers, but they have different tones and uses. คะ (high tone) is specifically used for asking questions. You use ค่ะ (falling tone) when making a statement or answering a question.
