Questions & Answers about พ่อ ไม่เคย ซีเรียส กับ ผล สอบ หรอก ค่ะ
Why is หรอก added to the end of this sentence?
หรอก is used here to gently correct an assumption. The speaker is likely responding to someone (perhaps a sibling or friend) who is worried that Dad will be angry about their grades. By adding หรอก, the sentence takes on the feeling of, "Contrary to what you might think, Dad is actually never strict about that."
Is ซีเรียส exactly the same as the English word "serious"?
It is an English loanword, but its usage is narrower in Thai. Thais use ซีเรียส primarily to describe a person's attitude when they are stressed, strict, or taking something too heavily. If you want to say a situation or an illness is "serious", you wouldn't use ซีเรียส; you would use a native Thai word like ร้ายแรง or สาหัส.
Why does the sentence use กับ (with) instead of a word for "about"?
In Thai, when you describe a person's attitude, emotion, or reaction directed toward a specific subject, กับ is the standard preposition to link them. So while in English you are serious about something, in Thai you are serious with (กับ) it.
The lesson says หรอก is used in negative sentences. Does ไม่เคย (never) trigger this rule?
Yes, absolutely. ไม่เคย (not ever / never) makes the statement grammatically negative, so it pairs perfectly with หรอก. The particle works alongside any negative word (like ไม่, ไม่ได้, or ไม่เคย) to soften the contradiction.
