Questions & Answers about ปัจจุบัน ใคร ก็ ไม่ ฟัง วิทยุ อีกแล้ว
How does the ไม่... อีกแล้ว pattern work in this sentence?
The negative word ไม่ (not) is placed right before the verb ฟัง (listen), and อีกแล้ว (anymore) goes at the very end of the sentence. Together, they frame the action to show that something people used to do has now completely stopped.
Why do we use ใคร ก็ ไม่ to mean nobody?
Thai does not have a single, standalone word for nobody. Instead, it uses the question word ใคร (who or anybody) paired with the emphasizing particle ก็ and the negative ไม่. Literally, it means anybody at all does not.
Could I put the time word ปัจจุบัน at the end of the sentence?
It is much more natural at the beginning here. While some short time words can go at the end of a sentence, ปัจจุบัน (nowadays) sets a broad context for the whole situation. Placing it first is especially common when contrasting the present with the past, which perfectly matches our use of อีกแล้ว.
Why isn't there a word for to when saying listens to the radio?
In Thai, the verb ฟัง (to listen) takes a direct object. You do not need an extra preposition to connect the verb and the noun. You simply say ฟัง วิทยุ (listen radio).
