Questions & Answers about เขา อยาก กอด กัน ค่ะ
Why is กัน placed immediately after the word กอด?
The word กัน shows that the action is mutual, meaning 'each other.' In Thai, it must be placed right after the main verb. So กอดกัน means 'hug each other.'
I thought เขา meant 'he' or 'she'. How do we know it means 'they' in this sentence?
While เขา is often used for 'he' or 'she,' it is also the standard word for 'they.' In this sentence, the context gives it away: since they want to hug กัน (each other), there must be more than one person, making 'they' the only translation that makes sense.
Is อยาก used exactly the same way as 'want' in English?
Yes, but it is specifically used before verbs to mean 'want to do' an action. It goes directly before the action verb กอด (hug). If you wanted to express wanting a physical object or a noun, you would use a different word.
The sentence ends with ค่ะ. Does that mean the people hugging are female?
Not necessarily. The polite particle ค่ะ reflects the gender of the person speaking the sentence, not the people being talked about. It just tells us that a woman is making the statement. A male speaker observing the exact same situation would end the sentence with ครับ.
