Questions & Answers about พวก เขา ปรึกษา กัน กี่โมง คะ
Why does กัน go right after the verb ปรึกษา instead of at the end of the sentence?
As this lesson shows, the reciprocal marker กัน (each other / together) belongs immediately after the main verb. The question word กี่โมง (what time) and the polite particle คะ must follow it at the end of the sentence.
Does กัน mean "each other" or "together" here?
It covers both! กัน is a handy word that translates to both "each other" and "together". In the context of ปรึกษา (to consult or discuss), translating it as "consult each other" or "discuss together" means the exact same thing.
I learned that เขา alone can mean "they". Why do we need พวก here?
While เขา can mean "they", it also frequently means "he" or "she". Adding พวก (which indicates a group) makes the pronoun strictly plural. Saying พวก เขา is the clearest way to specify "they" rather than just one person.
Could I move กี่โมง (what time) to the front of the sentence, like in English?
No, Thai sentence structure is different. Question words regarding time, like กี่โมง, naturally sit at the end of the statement, just before the female polite particle คะ.
