Questions & Answers about คุณ ควร รีไซเคิล ขวด พลาสติก ค่ะ
How does the word order for ควร work here?
The word ควร means 'should', and it goes exactly where you would expect it to as an English speaker: right before the main verb. In this sentence, it is placed immediately before the action word รีไซเคิล.
I noticed รีไซเคิล and พลาสติก sound very similar to English. Are they borrowed words?
Yes! Thai borrows many words from English for modern technology and environmental concepts. Just be aware that Thai pronunciation rules apply, so รีไซเคิล ends with an 'n' sound instead of an 'l' sound, and พลาสติก is pronounced with Thai tones and syllables.
Why is it written as ขวด พลาสติก instead of the other way around?
In Thai, words that describe a noun always come after the main noun. Since พลาสติก describes what the bottle is made of, it must come directly after the main object, ขวด. You are literally saying 'bottle plastic'.
The English translation says 'bottles' (plural). Why doesn't the Thai sentence have a word to show there is more than one?
Thai nouns like ขวด do not change form to show plurals. The exact same word is used for one bottle or one million bottles. Since this sentence is giving general advice, we understand from context that it refers to plastic bottles in general.
