Questions & Answers about อย่า กด ลิงก์ นะ เพื่อไม่ให้ มิจฉาชีพ หลอก
How does เพื่อไม่ให้ break down, and why is ให้ included here?
เพื่อ means 'in order to', ไม่ means 'not', and ให้ means 'to let' or 'to allow'. Together, เพื่อไม่ให้ means 'in order not to let' or 'so as to prevent'. The ให้ is required here because the subject changes in the second clause: you are performing the first action (not clicking) so that you don't let a third party (the scammer) perform the second action (deceiving).
The English translation says 'deceive you', but there is no word for 'you' in the Thai sentence. Can I add one?
You could add คุณ (you) at the very end, but it is much more natural to leave it out. Thai frequently drops pronouns when context makes the receiver of the action obvious. Since the speaker is warning you directly, it is completely understood who the scammer is trying to deceive.
The word มิจฉาชีพ seems very formal or technical. Is this what Thai people actually call everyday internet scammers?
Yes, it is the standard and most common word used today! While it historically translates to 'wrongful profession' or refers to a general criminal, it has been widely adopted in everyday conversation, social media, and news to specifically mean phone or internet scammers.
Why does the sentence use กด (to press) instead of a borrowed word for 'click'?
While Thai does use the borrowed word คลิก for clicking a computer mouse, กด (to press) is extremely common for digital interactions. This is especially true nowadays because people are usually 'pressing' links on their touchscreen phones rather than using a mouse.
What is the purpose of นะ right in the middle of the sentence?
นะ is a softening particle. Because อย่า (do not) is a direct command, saying just อย่ากดลิงก์ can sound a bit harsh, abrupt, or bossy. Adding นะ before explaining the reason turns the command into a softer, more caring warning or plea.
