Questions & Answers about เด็ก ๆ อยาก ได้ ของเล่น ใหม่ ๆ ครับ
Why is there a ๆ (mai yamok) after เด็ก?
The symbol ๆ tells you to repeat the word just before it. By saying เด็กเด็ก (dek dek), you make the noun plural. So here, it changes the meaning from a single child to multiple children.
There is another ๆ after ใหม่ (new). Does it also make the word plural?
Yes, it shows that the things being described are plural! While repeating an adjective can sometimes just soften its meaning to 'sort of new', here ใหม่ๆ (mai mai) emphasizes that there are multiple new toys involved, matching the plural children.
I learned that อยาก means 'want'. Why do we need ได้ (get) here?
In Thai, อยาก (yak) must be followed by an action (a verb), like wanting to DO something. Because ของเล่น (toy) is a noun, you cannot use อยาก by itself. You have to use อยากได้ (yak dai), which literally means 'want to get' an object.
How is the word ของเล่น (toy) put together?
It is a very common type of compound word in Thai. It combines ของ (thing) and เล่น (to play). Put them together and you get a 'plaything' or toy.
