ǔuObj(B) kh ? - Khun chɔɔp d
ùum kaafɛɛ máy kh? ( Do you like to drink coffee?) - Khun chɔɔp d

ùum kaafɛɛ thîi hâaŋ rǔuthîi raán ?aahǎan kh? (Do you like to drink coffe at mall or at restaurant?) - S + Verb + ?à -rai ?/ thîi nay?

If you don’t know how to answer a question with máy kh? / chây máy kh? and ?à -rai ? you can check the previous day lesson (Day 1 – Day 5). The new questions for day 6 are in the form of “thîi nay” (where) question. Don’t forget that máy kh questions are not a yes no questions, see Day 4 for yes no questions.
Now to answer the questions we just add the name of the place after “thîi”.
- Q: Khun chɔɔp d
ùum kaafɛɛ thîi nay? (Where do you like to drink coffee?) - A: ♀/ ♂ chɔɔp d
ùum kaafɛɛ thîi raánkaafɛɛ StarBucks( I like to drink coffee at StarBucks coffee shop) - Q: Khun pay thîaw thîinay? (Where do you go travel?)
- A:♀/ ♂ pay thîaw thîi Chiang Rai (I go travel to Chiang Rai)
You can see from the example, if the place has name, the name came after the place (it’s raánkaafɛɛ starbucks not starbucks raánkaafɛɛ). Or sometimes you can directly say the name.
Anyway, if you notice, sometimes my transliteration is not consistent. I am still working on it. I need more time to write day to day experience, because lately I spent more time watching tv than writing. It’s hard to write the transliteration because it is difficult to find all the characters that I need. If I have more time to write this, maybe I will also write the Thai character.
