I suggest you to review the previous one first then study this one, that would help you understand this lesson quicker : )
Review the previous lesson – How to use classifier when counting
HOW MANY?
Pattern : noun + กี่ gìi + classifier
Example:
How many shirts?
เสื้อกี่ตัว sûea gìi dtua?
*’dtua’ is the classifier for clothes
ผมมีหนังสือสามเล่ม pŏm mii [ năng-sŭe 3 lêm ] I have three books.
คุณมีหนังสือกี่เล่ม kun mii [năng-sŭe gìi lêm ] How many books do you have?
คุณมีเพื่อนคนไทยกี่คน kun mii [pûean kon tai gìi kon] How many Thai friends do you have?
ผมมีเพื่อนคนไทยยี่สิบคน pŏm mii [pûean kon tai 20 kon] I have 20 Thai friends.
แม่มีแมวกี่ตัว mâe mii [maew gìi dtua] How many cats does she have?
เขามีแมวห้าสิบตัว káo mii [maew 50 dtua] She has 50 cats.
คุณซื้อรองเท้ากี่คู่ kun súe roong-táao gìi kûu How many shoes did you buy?
I hope you find this lesson useful : )
