เขา มึน มาก เพราะ เรียน ตลอด วัน ครับ

Questions & Answers about เขา มึน มาก เพราะ เรียน ตลอด วัน ครับ

How is ตลอด วัน different from ทั้ง วัน, which I learned earlier for "all day"?
Both mean "all day," but they have a slightly different focus. ทั้ง วัน focuses on the entirety of the day (the whole day), while ตลอด วัน focuses on the continuous duration (throughout the day, without stopping). In this sentence, ตลอด วัน emphasizes that his studying was continuous, which explains why he is so dazed.
The word มึน usually means "dizzy." Why is it translated as "dazed" here?
While มึน does mean dizzy or lightheaded (like from motion sickness or a minor bump to the head), Thai people frequently use it as slang to describe being mentally exhausted, "brain-fried," or confused from taking in too much information. Since he was studying all day, มึน perfectly describes that foggy, overloaded feeling!
Why isn't the pronoun เขา (he) repeated after เพราะ (because)?
In Thai, if the subject of the second clause is the same as the first, it is usually dropped to sound more natural. Since we already established that เขา (he) is the one who is dazed, you don't need to say "because he studied"—just saying เพราะ เรียน is perfectly clear and much more common.
Could I put ตลอด at the very end of the sentence instead of before วัน?
Not if you want to say "all day." You can use ตลอด on its own at the end of an action to mean "all the time" or "always" (for example, เขา เรียน ตลอด - He studies all the time). However, because we specifically want to say "throughout the day," ตลอด must sit directly in front of the time word วัน.
