Questions & Answers about ขอ คาปูชิโน่ แก้ว ใหญ่ ครับ
Since this lesson is about ด้วย (also), how would I use it here to say 'May I also have a large cappuccino?'
You place ด้วย at the end of the clause, just before the polite speaker particle ครับ. The sentence becomes ขอคาปูชิโน่แก้วใหญ่ด้วยครับ.
Why do we say คาปูชิโน่แก้วใหญ่ instead of just คาปูชิโน่ใหญ่?
When describing the size of a drink in Thai, you usually include its classifier (the container word). แก้ว means cup or glass. You are literally asking for cappuccino, cup large, because ใหญ่ (big) modifies the cup itself.
Where would I add the word for hot (ร้อน) or iced (เย็น) in this sentence?
The temperature comes right after the name of the drink, before the cup size. For example, a large iced cappuccino would be คาปูชิโน่เย็นแก้วใหญ่ครับ (cappuccino + iced + cup + big).
I learned that เอา means to want or to take. Could I use เอา instead of ขอ to order this?
Yes, you can say เอาคาปูชิโน่แก้วใหญ่ครับ. However, ขอ (which literally means to ask for) sounds a bit softer and more polite. Both are extremely common and natural for ordering at a café.
