Thai Grammar

School is going well, although the night before class I had Thai 'questions and answers', looping in my head until 2 am. Believe me, it was the most boring and repetitive conversation I've ever had with myself, considering the extent of my Thai repertoire.

After watching Stray tackle 12 English tenses, gerunds and phonetics and other things I don't even want to know about...I thought Thai Grammar would be a cinch. I'm already confused, but am assured that we'll cover this in more detail somewhere down the track.

What company do you work for?
Khun tham ngaan boorisat aray?
You work company what?

But, if I say....

What street is your company?
Boorisat khun yuu thanon aray?
Company your is street what?

Khun and Boorisat change positions.

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

I'm trying not to ask too many questions in class at this stage. 1. I'll drive my class mates nuts and 2. My teacher will end up sounding like my last one did at college, 'put your hand down Snap, it is, because it JUST IS'.

See what else we're up to at Cooee!
