Questions & Answers about ทำไม คุณ ลาก กระเป๋า มา คะ
Why is มา placed after กระเป๋า instead of right after the verb ลาก?
When a sentence has an action verb, an object, and a directional verb like มา, the object usually goes in the middle. So the pattern is action (ลาก - drag) + object (กระเป๋า - bag) + direction (มา - towards the speaker).
Does มา mean the bag is physically walking over here?
Not at all! When มา follows another verb, it stops being the main action and instead describes the direction of the main action. It means the dragging motion is happening towards the speaker. If the person was dragging the bag away, you would use ไป (away) instead.
Can I put the question word ทำไม at the end of the sentence?
Absolutely. In everyday spoken Thai, ทำไม is very often placed at the end. You will frequently hear คุณลากกระเป๋ามาทำไมคะ with the exact same meaning. Putting it at the beginning just emphasizes the "Why" a little more.
Just to be sure, why does this sentence use คะ and not ค่ะ?
คะ (with a high tone) is the polite particle female speakers use for questions. Because this sentence is asking a question, คะ is the correct choice. You use ค่ะ (with a falling tone) for statements and giving answers.
