よくある質問 (6)

No, you can use it for abstract concepts like 'happier' or 'better'.
No, kwa is strictly for adjectives and adverbs.
You use กว่า (kwaa) placed directly after the adjective.
Not at all! It's one of the easiest grammar points in Thai.
It is a particle used to indicate a comparative degree, similar to '-er' or 'more' in English.
No, Thai adjectives function as verbs, so you just place the adjective directly in the sentence.
