Questions & Answers about ฉัน คิด ว่า ศิลปิน ก็ ตื่นเต้น ค่ะ
Why do we need ว่า after คิด?
ว่า acts like the English word "that" when connecting a verb of thought, speech, or feeling to a whole new clause. You will see it used as a bridge in very common phrases like คิด ว่า (think that), พูด ว่า (say that), and รู้ ว่า (know that).
Where exactly does ก็ (also/too) have to go in a sentence?
In Thai, ก็ always goes directly before the main verb or adjective. While in English you might put "also" or "too" in various places (like at the very end of the sentence), in Thai it is strictly locked into the spot right before ตื่นเต้น (excited).
Why isn't there a Thai word for "is" (like เป็น or คือ) before "excited"?
Because Thai doesn't use "to be" verbs before adjectives! Words that describe feelings or states, like ตื่นเต้น (excited), act as verbs on their own. Adding a word for "is" here would be grammatically incorrect in Thai.
Is there a trick to remembering the word for "excited" (ตื่นเต้น)?
Yes! It is a compound made of two action words: ตื่น means "to wake up" and เต้น means "to dance" or "to beat/throb". When your heart wakes up and dances, you are ตื่นเต้น (excited)!
