Questions & Answers about ช่างตัดเสื้อ เลือก ไซส์ ได้ พอดี ครับ
Why is พอดี used at the end of this sentence?
In this lesson, พอดี means "perfectly" or "just right." Placed after the action and its object, it acts as a modifier describing the exactness of the tailor's choice, meaning the chosen size was neither too big nor too small.
What is the function of ได้ right before พอดี? Does it indicate past tense here?
No, it doesn't indicate past tense or "can" in this spot. Instead, ได้ acts as a linking word to introduce the result of the action. It connects the main verb "to choose" (เลือก) to the result of it being perfect (พอดี).
How is the word for tailor, ช่างตัดเสื้อ, constructed?
It is made up of three parts. ช่าง is a very useful prefix for skilled craftsmen or mechanics. ตัด means "to cut," and เสื้อ means "shirt" or "clothes." Literally, it translates to "clothing-cutting artisan."
The word ไซส์ sounds exactly like the English word "size." Is it common to use this instead of a native Thai word?
