ทุกคนเคยไปเกาะเสม็ดไหมคะ ทะเลที่นั่นสวยมากๆเลยค่ะ
(túk kon koei pai gàw Samèd mái ká? Talay tîi nân suǎi mâak mâak loei kâ.)
Have you guys ever been to Samed Island? The ocean there is very beautiful (^3^)
【Grammar】
เคย (koei) + verb = to have an experience doing something.
เคยไป (koei pai) = to have been to some place.
Note that in Thai, we don’t use “เคยอยู่ (koei yùu)” in this context.
If you ask a question with “เคยอยู่ (koei yùu),” it means “Have you ever lived in …?”
เคยไปปารีสไหม
[koei pai Paris mái]
Have you ever been to Paris?
เคยอยู่ปารีสไหม
[koei yùu Paris mái]
Have you ever lived in Paris?
When you reply to this type of question, use “เคย [koei]” for “yes” and “ไม่เคย [mâi koei]” for “no.”
