Questions & Answers about คุณ ต้อง หนี ศัตรู อย่าง ปลอดภัย
How does อย่าง change the word ปลอดภัย in this sentence?
ปลอดภัย is a word meaning safe. Placing อย่าง (in a way that) directly in front of it turns it into an adverb meaning safely. This is the standard way to describe exactly how an action is performed.
Why is อย่าง ปลอดภัย placed at the very end instead of next to the verb?
Adverbs of manner like อย่าง ปลอดภัย usually go at the end of the sentence or clause in Thai. Even though it describes the verb หนี (escape), it comes after the object ศัตรู (enemy).
English usually says escape from the enemy. Why is there no word for from here?
The Thai verb หนี (to escape or flee) can take a direct object. You simply put what you are running away from, like ศัตรู (enemy), right after the verb without needing an extra preposition.
What role does ต้อง play before the main verb?
ต้อง (must) is a helping verb. It is placed immediately before the main action verb หนี (escape) to show obligation, working very similarly to how must works in English.
