Lesson Four: Thai Language Classes: Using Thai Question Words

When

Example: When are you playing tennis? 

When are you playing tennis?
เมื่อไหร่  - คุณ เล่น เทนนิส
Meuua Rai  - khun len tane-nis

In the Thai Language, you need to re arrange the words so that the Thai sentence makes sense as follows: 

คุณ เล่น เทนนิส เมื่อไหร่ 
You play tennis when?

With the question word ‘when’, the Thai sentence structure remains the same as ‘what’ as follows: 

Subject + Verb + Object + Question Word 

Similarly, all question words work the same way. For simple Thai sentences just add the question word after the verb or object (if there is any). 

For example: 

Where are you playing (tennis)?
คุณ เล่น เทนนิส ที่ไหน 
You play tennis where?
Why are you playing tennis?
คุณ เล่น เทนนิส ทำไม 
You play tennis why?
How are you playing tennis?
คุณ เล่น เทนนิส อย่างไร or ยังไง 
You play tennis how?
