The order of ของ

Postby Snap » Sat Dec 10, 2011 12:01 am

In the example below, whey doesn't the word ของ follow มือขวา ?
Why is it at the end of the sentence?

. ใช้มือขวารับและส่งของ
saamR chaiH meuuM khwaaR rapH laeH sohngL khaawngR
"3. Use your right hand when receiving or giving things [to another person]."

Thank you in advance.

I wonder if there is confusion over the meaning of "ของ". I believe here it means "things". It does not function as a possesive.

Thanks, now it makes sense :D

The hover over said it was the possessive ของ
