Questions & Answers about น้ำ ใน กล่อง นี้ จะ แข็ง เร็ว มาก ค่ะ
Where is the word for 'freeze' in this sentence?
The word แข็ง usually means 'hard'. In Thai, when liquids freeze, they are described as becoming hard. You might remember the word for ice is น้ำแข็ง (literally 'water-hard'). So to say water will freeze, we say it will become hard (จะแข็ง).
Could we use the state maintenance particle ไว้ (for later / to keep) in this sentence?
Not easily with this exact phrasing. The particle ไว้ is used with action verbs to show you are intentionally doing something to maintain a state. Here, แข็ง (to freeze) is just a process happening to the water, not an action you are actively doing to it. If you wanted to say 'Keep the water chilled in this box for later,' you would use an action verb with ไว้, such as แช่น้ำไว้ (chill the water for later).
Why is it กล่องนี้ instead of นี้กล่อง?
In Thai, pointing words like นี้ (this) and นั้น (that) always come after the noun they describe. So instead of saying 'this box', you must say 'box this' (กล่องนี้).
Does กล่อง usually mean a freezer?
No, กล่อง simply means 'box', 'carton', or 'container'. The speaker is likely referring to a cooler box, an icebox, or a specific container they are putting in a freezer. If they wanted to say 'refrigerator', they would use ตู้เย็น (literally 'cold cabinet').
