Questions & Answers about ต่อให้ อุปสรรค ขัดขวาง เขา เขา ก็ยัง แน่วแน่ อยู่ ค่ะ
How do ต่อให้ and ก็ยัง work together in this sentence?
ต่อให้ (even if) introduces a hypothetical or extreme condition, while ก็ยัง (still) introduces the result that happens anyway. They are often paired together to emphasize that the condition will not change the outcome.
What is the purpose of อยู่ here? Doesn't ก็ยัง already mean "still"?
While ก็ยัง provides the "still" meaning for the condition (despite X, Y still happens), อยู่ adds a continuous state to the adjective แน่วแน่ (resolute). It emphasizes that her firmness is ongoing and unbroken.
The translation says "her" and "she", but isn't เขา usually "he"?
เขา is actually a gender-neutral pronoun meaning "he", "she", or "they". Although beginners are often taught to translate it as "he" to contrast with เธอ (she), Thai speakers frequently use เขา for women in everyday life, just as it is used here.
The sentence repeats เขา. Is it strictly necessary to say it twice?
No, you could drop the second เขา because the context makes clear who we are talking about. However, keeping both makes the sentence sound more balanced and emphasizes the contrast: even if obstacles obstruct her, she remains resolute.
