Questions & Answers about ผม ได้รับ เกียรติ จาก บริษัท ครับ
Why use ได้รับ instead of just รับ here?
While รับ means to physically receive a tangible object like a package or a gift, ได้รับ is used for receiving abstract things like an honor, an invitation, or a promotion. It acts as a marker for a formal or positive passive voice.
How do you pronounce the word เกียรติ?
It is pronounced simply as 'kiat'. Even though it is spelled with a final consonant cluster and a short vowel at the very end, those extra letters are completely silent. This silent ending is very common for abstract Thai words borrowed from Sanskrit.
Can I use ถูก instead of ได้รับ to make this a passive sentence?
No, because ถูก is almost exclusively used for negative or unpleasant passive experiences, like being punished or scolded. For positive, fortunate, or prestigious passive experiences, you must use ได้รับ.
Is ได้รับเกียรติ used exactly like the English phrase 'I am honored'?
Yes, it is the standard formal way to say you are honored to do something or to be somewhere. You will often hear public speakers or hosts use this exact phrase before introducing a special guest or kicking off an important event.
