Questions & Answers about ผู้จัดการ ได้รับ ความไว้วางใจ ครับ
How does ได้รับ make this sentence passive?
The word ได้รับ literally means "to receive". In Thai, a positive or formal passive voice is often expressed by "receiving" an action or state rather than using a "to be" verb. When you put ได้รับ before an abstract noun like ความไว้วางใจ (trust) or an action verb, it translates smoothly to "to be trusted" or "to gain trust".
Why is ความ added to the beginning of ไว้วางใจ?
The word ความ is a prefix used to turn verbs or adjectives into abstract nouns. ไว้วางใจ is the verb "to trust", so ความไว้วางใจ becomes the noun "trust". Since the manager is literally "receiving" (ได้รับ) something in this sentence structure, that something needs to act as a noun.
Can I break down the word ไว้วางใจ to help remember it?
Yes! It is a compound of ไว้ (to keep or store), วาง (to place or lay down), and ใจ (heart or mind). You can think of it as "placing and keeping your heart" with someone, which perfectly captures the concept of trust.
If I wanted to specify who trusts the manager, how would I add that?
Because ได้รับ works like "to receive", you use the word จาก (from) to show who is giving the trust, rather than the English "by" used in passive sentences. To say "The manager gained trust from the team", you would just add จากทีม at the end of the phrase, right before the polite particle.
