Questions & Answers about ตั้งแต่ผมเจอหุ้นส่วน นักลงทุนก็สนใจเราครับ
Why don't we need any special tense markers to show "have been interested"?
ตั้งแต่ (since) does the heavy lifting for the timeline. It tells us that the first action (เจอ, met) happened in the past, and sets up a continuing condition for the second action (สนใจ, interested). Thai doesn't need to add perfect tense markers when the context is already clear from ตั้งแต่.
I usually translate ก็ as "also". Why is it used here before the investors are mentioned?
Here, ก็ acts as a linking word connecting the two clauses. When a Thai sentence starts with a condition or a time marker like ตั้งแต่ (since) or ถ้า (if), the second half (the result) frequently uses ก็ to mean "then" or "consequently." It smoothly bridges the "since X" to the "then Y."
How does the word for investor, นักลงทุน, break down?
It is made of three distinct parts. นัก is a prefix for someone who does something habitually or professionally. ลง means to put down or apply, and ทุน means capital or funds. Together, ลงทุน means to invest, making นักลงทุน the person who invests.
What kind of partner does หุ้นส่วน refer to?
It refers strictly to a business partner or stakeholder. หุ้น means a share or stock in a company, and ส่วน means a part or portion. You wouldn't use this for a romantic partner or a casual project teammate.
