Questions & Answers about รัฐบาล กำหนด วัน ประชุม แล้ว
Why is the phrase for "meeting date" ordered as วัน ประชุม instead of ประชุม วัน?
In Thai, the main noun comes first, followed by the word that modifies or describes it. Here, วัน (day or date) is the main noun, and ประชุม (meeting) describes what kind of day it is.
Could I use ตั้ง instead of กำหนด to mean "set" in this sentence?
No, because they are used differently. ตั้ง means "to set up" or "to stand something up," mostly used for physical objects or establishing organizations. For setting schedules, limits, rules, or official dates, กำหนด is the correct word.
Does วัน ประชุม mean a single meeting date or multiple dates?
You have to rely on context because Thai nouns do not have plural forms. Without a number or a plural word like หลาย (many), วัน ประชุม usually implies a single meeting date, but it could technically refer to multiple dates if the government were planning a series of meetings.
Why does the sentence end with แล้ว?
แล้ว means "already" and is placed at the end of a sentence to show that an action is fully completed. In this context, it helps create a structure similar to the English present perfect tense, changing the meaning from "sets the meeting date" to "has set the meeting date."
