Questions & Answers about ถึง ปีศาจ ตัว ใหญ่ มัน ก็ กลัว ดาบ เล่ม นี้ ค่ะ
How do ถึง and ก็ work together in this sentence?
ถึง starts the first part of the sentence to mean 'even though' (Even though the demon is big). Then, ก็ is placed right before the main verb กลัว (afraid) in the second part. Together, they create the pattern 'Even though..., ...still...'.
Why is the word ตัว used between ปีศาจ (demon) and ใหญ่ (big)?
In Thai, when you want to describe a noun with an adjective, you often put the noun's classifier in the middle. The pattern is Noun + Classifier + Adjective. Since ปีศาจ (demon) uses the animal/creature classifier ตัว, 'big demon' becomes ปีศาจตัวใหญ่.
Why is the pronoun มัน (it) used here?
Thai often drops pronouns, but in a sentence with two connected clauses like this one, it sounds much more natural to include a pronoun in the second part. มัน (it) acts as a clear bridge to show that we are moving on to the main action: it is still afraid.
Why does the sentence say ดาบเล่มนี้ instead of just putting นี้ right after the word for sword?
When you use pointing words like นี้ (this) or นั้น (that), you must include the classifier for the noun. The rule is Noun + Classifier + This/That. The classifier for ดาบ (sword) is เล่ม (which is also used for books and knives!), so 'this sword' must be ดาบเล่มนี้.
