Questions & Answers about เขา มอง ตัวเอง ใน กระจก ครับ
Since the English translation says "himself", does ตัวเอง change if the subject is "she" or "I"?
The English translation says "looks at himself". Is there a Thai word for "at" missing here?
Not at all! The Thai verb มอง already includes the meaning "to look at". You don't need to add a preposition. You just place the object you are looking at—in this case, ตัวเอง—directly after the verb.
We previously learned the word ดู for "to look" or "to watch". Why does this sentence use มอง instead?
มอง means "to look at" or "to direct your eyes toward" a specific object or point. ดู is typically used for "watching" or observing something over a period of time, like a movie, a show, or a sport. When glancing at a reflection, มอง is the natural choice.
I've seen กระจก translated as "glass" before. How do we know it means "mirror" here?
กระจก is the general word for glass (like a windowpane), but it is also the everyday conversational word for "mirror". The context makes it clear here. If you ever need to be perfectly specific, the full word for a reflecting mirror is กระจกเงา (literally "shadow glass").
