Questions & Answers about อย่างไรก็ตาม ลูกค้า จะ ว่ายน้ำ ที่ สระน้ำ ได้ ค่ะ
How does the phrase อย่างไรก็ตาม break down literally?
It is made up of อย่างไร (how / whatever), ก็ (a linking particle meaning then/also), and ตาม (to follow). Together they form a fixed formal phrase meaning 'however' or 'nevertheless.' As you can see here, it is placed at the very beginning of the sentence to contrast with whatever was just said.
Why is ได้ placed at the very end of the sentence instead of next to จะ?
In Thai, the ability word ได้ (can / to be able to) must come after the main action and its objects or location phrases. So instead of saying 'will can swim at the pool', the structure has to be 'will swim at the pool can' (จะ ว่ายน้ำ ที่ สระน้ำ ได้).
Is there a difference between สระน้ำ and just สระ?
สระน้ำ specifically means 'swimming pool' or 'pond' (literally 'pool of water'). You can often just say สระ for short, but adding น้ำ makes it perfectly clear you mean a pool of water, rather than a vowel in the Thai alphabet (which is also spelled สระ but pronounced differently).
The word for customer is ลูกค้า. Would this be used if this pool is at a hotel?
Yes! While English distinguishes between 'customers' (at a shop) and 'guests' (at a hotel), Thai commonly uses ลูกค้า for both, as they are paying patrons. If this sentence is from a hotel receptionist, ลูกค้า naturally translates to 'guests'.
