Questions & Answers about พวก เรา สะดุด บันได ครับ
How would I use the word เกือบ from this lesson to say "We almost tripped on the stairs"?
You place เกือบ (almost) directly in front of the verb it modifies. To say "We almost tripped," you would say พวกเราเกือบสะดุดบันไดครับ.
Why isn't there a word for "on" in this sentence, like "tripped on the stairs"?
In Thai, the verb สะดุด (to trip or stumble) directly connects to the object that caused the tripping. You don't need a preposition like "on" or "over" — you literally just say "trip stairs".
I've seen เรา used for "we". Why does this sentence use พวกเรา?
While เรา often means "we," it is also frequently used in casual speech to mean "I". Adding the group word พวก to make พวกเรา removes any ambiguity, making it completely clear that you mean "we" as a group.
Does บันได only mean "stairs"?
No, บันได is the general word for something with steps. It usually means "stairs", but it is also the standard word used for a "ladder".
