Non-committal Stance with Question Words in Thai Language (These are not questions!)

Writer's picture: BYUBYU

Question words can play a double role in Thai language. If you're not paying attention carefully, you might think that these are questions. Question words can be appeared in statements and negative sentences and these refer to “some” or “any”. These sentences aren't actually questions. Enjoy learning!
