Questions & Answers about ฉัน ชอบ หมา ทุก ตัว ค่ะ
Why is the word order หมา ทุก ตัว when English just says "every dog"?
In Thai, the word ทุก (every) follows a specific pattern: Noun + ทุก + Classifier. So instead of saying "every dog," you literally say "dog every [animal-classifier]."
Can I skip the classifier and just say หมา ทุก or ทุก หมา?
No, the classifier is strictly required when using ทุก. Because หมา is an animal, you must use its specific classifier, ตัว, right after ทุก.
Is there a difference between หมา and สุนัข for dog?
Yes, หมา is the casual, everyday word for dog that you will hear constantly in spoken Thai. สุนัข is the formal or written word. Both of them use the same classifier, ตัว.
