Questions & Answers about กฎ นี้ มีผล อาทิตย์ หน้า นะ ครับ

Since this lesson is about the forward limit marker เป็นต้นไป (onwards), how would I add it to this sentence?
You would place เป็นต้นไป immediately after the time phrase อาทิตย์หน้า (next week). The sentence would become กฎนี้มีผลอาทิตย์หน้าเป็นต้นไปนะครับ (This rule takes effect from next week onwards, right?). You will also often hear ตั้งแต่ (from/since) added before the time phrase to complete the pair: ตั้งแต่อาทิตย์หน้าเป็นต้นไป.
I know ผล usually means "fruit" or "result". Is มีผล a set phrase?
Yes, in official or business contexts, มีผล (literally "has result") means "to take effect" or "to become valid." You might also hear the slightly more formal version, มีผลบังคับใช้ (literally "has effect to enforce use"), when talking about rules or laws.
Why isn't there a preposition like "in" or "starting" before อาทิตย์หน้า (next week)?
Thai frequently drops prepositions before time expressions when the meaning is obvious from the context. Simply saying มีผลอาทิตย์หน้า is perfectly natural. However, if you wanted to explicitly say "starting from next week," you could place ตั้งแต่ (since/from) right before อาทิตย์หน้า.
The English translation ends with "right?". Could I use ใช่ไหม instead of นะ?
Yes, you could. ใช่ไหม is a direct way to ask "is that correct?". Using นะ is softer; it acts more like a friendly tag or a gentle reminder, similar to saying "..., okay?" or "..., just so you know". Both fit the translation "right?", but นะ makes the sentence feel more conversational and less like an interrogation.
