Questions & Answers about ถ้า ฉัน ย้อนเวลา ได้ ฉัน ก็คง เปลี่ยน คณะ
How does ก็คง change the meaning from a simple future action to a hypothetical one?
ก็คง combines ก็ (then) and คง (probably). In an 'if' sentence starting with ถ้า, it acts like 'would probably' in English. It shows the speaker is guessing about a result that hasn't happened and, in this case, can't happen because they can't actually time travel.
I know เวลา means 'time'. What does ย้อน mean in ย้อนเวลา?
ย้อน means to reverse, go back, or retrace. So ย้อนเวลา literally means to reverse time or go back in time. You can also use ย้อน in other everyday contexts, like turning back or even driving the wrong way down a one-way street.
Why is ได้ placed at the end of the condition (ย้อนเวลา ได้) instead of before the verb?
When ได้ means 'can' or 'could' (ability or possibility), it always goes after the entire verb phrase. If you put it before the verb (ได้ย้อนเวลา), it would change the meaning to say that you 'got the chance' to go back in time or already did it in the past.
I see คณะ translated as 'faculty'. Does this mean the teachers?
No, in Thai universities, คณะ refers to the academic department or school (like the Faculty of Arts or Faculty of Science). When a Thai student says they want to change their คณะ, they mean they want to change their major or main course of study.
