Questions & Answers about เรา อยาก อยู่ ด้วยกัน ครับ
Why is ด้วยกัน placed at the very end of the phrase before the polite particle?
ด้วยกัน means "together" and acts as an adverb. It almost always sits at the end of the clause it modifies, directly following the verb it describes (in this case, อยู่, to live). The polite particle ครับ just closes the whole sentence.
I learned that เรา can sometimes mean "I". How do we know it means "we" in this sentence?
You are right that เรา is often used as a casual "I" in daily speech. However, context clues usually make the meaning clear. Here, the word ด้วยกัน (together) requires more than one person, so เรา must mean "we".
Does อยู่ mean "to live" in a romantic sense, or just being roommates?
อยู่ is a very general verb that means "to stay" or "to be located". When paired with ด้วยกัน (together), it simply means dwelling in the same place. It can be used for friends, family, or romantic partners depending entirely on the context outside of this sentence.
Why is there no word for "to" between อยาก (want) and อยู่ (live)?
In English, we say "want to" before a verb. In Thai, อยาก (want) functions as a helper verb that attaches directly to the main verb without needing a connector. You just place อยาก right in front of the action word.
