Questions & Answers about คุณ ซื้อ ลิปสติก คอลเลกชัน ใหม่ หรือยัง ครับ
Since the lesson is about the conjunction หรือไม่ก็ (or else), how does หรือยัง function here?
While หรือไม่ก็ means 'or else' to offer an alternative choice, หรือยัง literally translates to 'or not yet'. It is placed at the end of a sentence to ask 'have you done [X] yet?'. Both use the base word หรือ (or) to present a binary choice, but หรือยัง is strictly a question particle about the completion of an action.
Why isn't there a past tense word like แล้ว (already) or ได้ (did) to show 'Have you bought'?
The question word หรือยัง (yet?) already implies you are asking about an action that may or may not be completed. Adding แล้ว or ได้ is unnecessary because หรือยัง inherently asks a present perfect question ('Have you... yet?').
Look at the phrase ลิปสติก คอลเลกชัน ใหม่. Is the word order exactly the same as in English?
Not quite! In Thai, the core noun comes first, followed by its modifiers. Here, the main noun is ลิปสติก (lipstick). It is modified by the noun คอลเลกชัน (collection), and finally the adjective ใหม่ (new) modifies the whole phrase. So it translates literally as 'lipstick collection new'.
Both 'lipstick' and 'collection' are English loanwords. Do Thai speakers actually use these instead of native Thai words?
Yes, especially in modern contexts like cosmetics, fashion, and marketing. Words like ลิปสติก and คอลเลกชัน are widely used in everyday Thai, though they are pronounced using Thai phonetics and tone rules rather than a native English accent.
