Question 21

can’t find

Answer 21

hăa mâi jer

Several verbs, such as นอนหลับ (non làp) “to sleep” (lie down + sleep) and หาเจอ (hăa jer) “to find” (look for + find), consist of two verbs.

However, they differ in that the second verb describes a state that results from the action of the first verb; thus, sleeping results from lying down and finding from looking.
