Thai classifier
Hi Thai native speakers,

Please help me with usage of classifier.
I want to know how important the classifiers in informal conversation.

If I say
กระเป๋านี้หนัก
In place of
กระเป๋าใบนี้หนัก
How does it sound?

What about เขามี2บา้น ?

There are large number of classifiers in Japanese and when a speaker omits classifiers or uses wrong ones, that sounds childish and funny.I am learning Thai since long time and know grammar of classifier but just curious about what kind of impression the sentence without classifier is going to give to native speakers.

Answer

If you said "กระเป๋านี้หนัก" you said without any classifier 
But "กระเป๋าใบนี้หนัก" "ใบ" is the classifier of the bag. Also "ใบ" can use with leaf , papar (some use แผ่น) , bag, 
You can use with or without in routine talking. Because sometime I didn't tell how much of things I want I just say without any classifier.

เขามี 2 บ้าน wrong , if you mean he has 2 houses.
บ้าน is not classifier. It's different from English that they used its word to classifier after number.

The correct is เขามีบ้าน2 หลัง "หลัง" is the classifier to บ้าน

It a complicated and need a lot to remember , but don't give up. !

กระเป๋าใบนี้หนัก is better, more clear

What about เขามี2บา้น ? = เขามีบ้าน 2 หลัง   (mean : He has 2 houses -- we use the word "หลัง" to describe how many house)

Answer

เขามี 2 บ้าน that is ok. It means he has two houses. Sometime it may means he has two wifes that you should notice from the sentence and story.

Answer

กระเป๋านี้หนัก 
If you hold it that sounds good.

กระเป๋าใบนี้หนัก 
It indicates which one that you say. May be you hold it or point to it.

But we can say both that are not wrong.

Answer

I recommend to use กระเป๋าใบนี้หนัก 
Because ชัดเจน ทำให้เข้าใจง่าย คะ

Do you understand the reason why?

ภาษาไทยน่าสนุกนะคะ:-)
