Questions & Answers about ผู้จัดพิมพ์ ปฏิเสธ ต้นฉบับ นี้ ทำไม
How do the parts of ผู้จัดพิมพ์ combine to mean 'publisher'?
This word uses the prefix ผู้ (person who/the one who) from our current lesson. It is attached to จัด (to arrange or manage) and พิมพ์ (to print). So, ผู้จัดพิมพ์ literally means 'the person who arranges the printing'.
What are the parts that make up the word ต้นฉบับ (manuscript)?
ต้น means 'origin' or 'beginning' (as well as 'tree'), and ฉบับ is the classifier word used for documents, letters, and copies. Together, ต้นฉบับ literally means the 'original document' or 'master copy', which we translate as 'manuscript'.
Why does ทำไม (why) appear at the end of the sentence?
Unlike English, where 'why' starts the question, Thai standard word order places ทำไม at the very end: Subject + Verb + Object + ทำไม. You might occasionally hear it at the beginning in casual spoken Thai, but putting it at the end is the standard rule.
Does ปฏิเสธ only mean to 'reject' a physical thing like a manuscript?
No, ปฏิเสธ is a versatile formal word. Aside from rejecting objects or offers, it is also the standard word for 'to deny' (like denying an accusation or a rumor) and 'to decline' (like politely turning down an invitation).
