Questions & Answers about ประเพณี ไทย สอน ให้ คน ทักทาย กัน ค่ะ

How would I add the lesson's new word มักจะ (tend to / usually) to this sentence?
You place มักจะ right before the main verb. In this sentence, the main action is สอน (to teach). So if you wanted to say 'Thai tradition usually teaches...', you would say ประเพณีไทยมักจะสอน...
I learned before that ให้ means 'to give'. Why is it translated as 'to' here?
While ให้ does mean 'to give', it is also heavily used as a linking word when one action directs or causes someone else to do something. When paired with a verb like สอน (to teach), ให้ connects the teaching to the action the person is supposed to do. So, สอนให้คนทักทายกัน means 'teaches people to greet each other'.
What is the purpose of the word กัน after the verb?
The word กัน means 'each other' or 'together'. It is placed right after a verb to show that an action is mutual. In this sentence, ทักทายกัน means that people are greeting each other, not just one person greeting an empty room.
Why does the sentence say ประเพณีไทย (tradition Thai) instead of the other way around?
Remember that in Thai, describing words always come after the main noun. Since ไทย (Thai) describes the type of ประเพณี (tradition), the description must come second.
How do we know คน means 'people' in plural here, rather than just one person?
Thai nouns do not change their form to become plural, so you have to rely on context. Because a tradition applies to a whole society, it is understood that คน refers to 'people' in general, not just a single person.
