Questions & Answers about ทำไม เจ้านาย ใหม่ ถึง ขี้โวยวาย ขนาดนี้ ครับ

What does the prefix ขี้ add to the word โวยวาย in this sentence?
The prefix ขี้ translates to "prone to" or "having a habit of." On its own, โวยวาย means "to make a fuss" or "to cause an uproar." Combined, ขี้โวยวาย becomes an adjective describing someone who habitually complains, yells, or makes a big fuss over minor things.
I know ถึง usually means "to arrive." What is it doing in the middle of a "why" question?
When paired with ทำไม (why) at the start of a sentence, ถึง acts as a particle that adds emphasis. It gives the feeling of "how come?" or "why is it that...?" The common structure is ทำไม + [subject] + ถึง + [verb/adjective], which perfectly captures the speaker's surprise or frustration here.
Can I just use มาก (very) at the end instead of ขนาดนี้?
You could, but it changes the feeling slightly. While มาก simply means "very" or "a lot," ขนาดนี้ literally means "this size" or "to this extent." Using ขนาดนี้ adds strong emphasis, matching the English translation of being "so fussy" or "fussy to this extreme."
Does เจ้านาย refer to any kind of manager at work?
It generally refers to a higher-level boss, an executive, or the owner of a company. If you are talking about a direct supervisor, line manager, or team leader, it is much more common to use the word หัวหน้า.
