Where did the robber hide the evidence?
From Lesson 86:Negating outcomes (ไม่)·Thai

Questions & Answers about โจร　ซ่อน　หลักฐาน　ที่ไหน　คะ

Why does ที่ไหน (where) come at the end of the sentence instead of the beginning?
In Thai, question words usually go in the exact same spot where the answer will be in the sentence. If the answer is 'hid the evidence in the house', the location is at the end. So, the question word ที่ไหน also stays at the end.
How do I pronounce the final letter in โจร (robber)?
Even though it ends with the consonant ร (r), Thai does not natively use an 'r' sound at the end of words. When ร is the final consonant of a syllable, it is pronounced as an 'n' sound. So โจร sounds similar to the English word 'Joan'.
If the police look for this evidence but can't find it, how do we express that using this lesson's grammar?
You would use the negative resultative structure: Action Verb + ไม่ (not) + Result Verb. The action 'to look for' is หา and the result 'to find' is เจอ. Putting the negation in the middle gives you หาไม่เจอ (looked but couldn't find).
Why does the speaker use คะ instead of ค่ะ at the end?
คะ (with a high tone) is the particle female speakers use specifically for asking questions. ค่ะ (with a falling tone) is used for statements, agreeing, or answering. Since this sentence is asking where the evidence is, คะ is the correct choice.
