Questions & Answers about ผลงาน ของ เขา ได้รับ คำชม ค่ะ
Why do we use ได้รับ here instead of the passive marker ถูก?
ได้รับ is used when the subject experiences something positive, like receiving praise, an award, or an opportunity. The passive marker ถูก (or โดน) is usually reserved for negative experiences, like being scolded or arrested.
Can I just say ได้รับ ชม instead of ได้รับ คำชม?
It is much more natural to use คำชม. The word ชม is the verb for to praise. By adding คำ (which means word) in front of it, it becomes the abstract noun for praise or a compliment. ได้รับ pairs nicely with abstract nouns to form these positive passive ideas.
What is the difference between ผลงาน and just งาน?
งาน is the general word for work or a job. ผลงาน adds the word ผล (result), so it specifically means the result of someone's labor, like a completed project, a piece of art, or an achievement.
If this translates to 'His work received praise,' is it really considered a passive sentence?
Yes! In Thai, using ได้รับ (to receive) plus an action or abstract noun is how you construct a formal, positive passive voice. While it literally translates as received praise, it acts as the exact equivalent of the English passive phrase was praised.
