Questions & Answers about การทำงาน ของ เขา ดี มาก ค่ะ
Why is there an การ (gaan) in front of ทำงาน (tam-ngaan)?
ทำงาน means 'to work', which is a verb. By adding the prefix การ in front of it, we turn it into a noun meaning 'the act of working' or simply 'work'. It is similar to adding '-ing' to a verb in English.
How does ของ (kŏng) work here to mean 'his'?
Thai does not have separate possessive pronouns like 'his' or 'hers'. Instead, you show ownership by using ของ (which means 'of' or 'belonging to') followed by the person. So, ของเขา literally translates to 'belonging to him'.
Wait, doesn't เขา (kăo) also mean 'she' or 'they'?
Yes, it does! เขา is a gender-neutral pronoun. Without extra context from a conversation, this exact sentence could also mean 'Her work is very good' or 'Their work is very good'. It was just translated as 'his' here as one common possibility.
Why is there no word for 'is' before ดี (dee)?
In Thai, descriptive words (adjectives) like ดี (good) act as verbs on their own. You do not need to use a 'to be' word like 'is' or 'are' to link them to the subject. You simply say 'his work good'.
Why is the word order ดีมาก (dee mâak) instead of the other way around?
In English, we put 'very' before the adjective ('very good'). In Thai, modifying words always come after the word they describe. Since มาก (very) describes how ดี (good) the work is, it must come after it, literally meaning 'good very'.
