Speak Thai Lesson 12
Classifier – tua tua is the classifier for animals. A classifier is a word that you put after the number of things, basically it’s a unit of measurement. In English you say”5 cats”,in Thai you can’t say “mԑ:w(cat) 5”.You would say“mԑ:w(cat) 5 tua”.All nouns have have classifiers. We use classifiers when talk about the quantity of something.
