Review Summary

  • Subject + chob + Object
  • Subject + mai-chob + Object
  • Subject + kid-wa + [Opinion]

常见错误

In Thai, 'mak' (very) usually comes after the noun or the verb object. Placing it before the noun changes the meaning.

Wrong: ฉันชอบมากอาหาร
正确: ฉันชอบอาหารมาก

While 'mai-chob' is correct, it feels incomplete without an object. Always state what you don't like.

Wrong: ฉันไม่ชอบ
正确: ฉันไม่ชอบ [thing]

The subject usually comes before the verb 'kid-wa'.

Wrong: คิดว่า ฉันชอบ
正确: ฉันคิดว่า...
