Questions & Answers about ดู โน่น ครับ
Why does this sentence use โน่น instead of โน้น?
How does โน่น compare to นั่น in a sentence like this?
Both point to things away from the speaker, but โน่น implies a greater distance. You use นั่น for something fairly close by or near the listener, and โน่น for something way over there in the distance.
There is no subject like "you" in this sentence. Is it a command?
Yes. Just like in English, you can drop the subject when giving a direct command or suggestion. Starting the sentence right with the verb ดู (to look) makes it perfectly clear you are telling the listener to look.
Could I use มอง instead of ดู to mean "look" in this sentence?
You could say มองโน่น, but ดูโน่น is much more common for grabbing someone's attention. ดู is about directing your focus to see something, while มอง focuses more on the physical act of turning your eyes toward something.
