From Lesson 17:Introducing yourself (ชื่อ, ยินดีที่ได้รู้จัก)·Thai

Questions & Answers about คุณ　รู้จัก　เขา　ไหม　คะ

Why does this sentence use รู้จัก instead of just รู้ for 'know'?
In Thai, รู้จัก is used when you mean 'to be acquainted with' a person, place, or thing. If you are talking about knowing a fact or a piece of information, you would use the word รู้ instead.
Does เขา specifically mean 'him'?
Not exactly. เขา is a general third-person pronoun that can mean 'he', 'she', or 'they' depending on who you are talking about. You have to rely on context to know exactly who is being referred to.
How do we know this is a yes/no question?
The word ไหม tells us it is a yes/no question. In Thai, you simply put ไหม at the end of a statement (just before the polite particle) to ask if something is true or not.
Why does the female speaker use คะ instead of ค่ะ?
Female speakers use คะ at the end of questions, while ค่ะ is used at the end of statements. Since this sentence is asking if you know someone, the question particle คะ is required here.
