Questions & Answers about แฝด สอง คน นี้ จมูก โด่ง เหมือนกัน ค่ะ

Why does the English translation say "Both of these twins" when เหมือนกัน means "the same"?
เหมือนกัน literally means "alike" or "in the same way." In this sentence, it sits at the end of the clause to show that the two twins share the exact same physical trait. While English says "Both have prominent noses," Thai phrases it as "These two twins [have] prominent noses just the same."
Why is the word order แฝด สอง คน นี้?
This is a great refresher on the standard Thai word order for pointing out a specific number of items. You start with the noun (แฝด - twins), add the number (สอง - two) and its classifier (คน - person), and finish with the pointing word (นี้ - these).
Where is the verb "to have" in this sentence?
There isn't one! Thai frequently drops the word for "have" (มี) when describing physical features. The sentence uses a topic-comment structure: "These two twins" (topic) is followed immediately by "nose prominent" (comment) to describe them.
Can I use โด่ง to describe tall buildings or high mountains?
No, โด่ง is quite specific. While it means "prominent" or "elevated," it is almost exclusively used to describe a high-bridged nose (จมูกโด่ง). For tall buildings or mountains, you would use สูง (sung) instead.
