Questions & Answers about เขา เอา เงินสด ไป พยุง บริษัท รอด จาก ภัย เศรษฐกิจ
Why is รอด placed after the object (บริษัท) instead of right next to the action verb (พยุง)?
Because รอด acts as a resultative serial verb here. The subject performed the main action (พยุง, to prop up) on the object (บริษัท, the company), and รอด (survive) is the result of that action. The structure is [Action] + [Object] + [Result].
Could we say ใช้ (to use) instead of the เอา...ไป structure to mean 'He used cash to...'?
Yes, you could say เขาใช้เงินสดพยุงบริษัท, but the เอา...ไป (take... away) structure adds a slightly different flavor. It emphasizes the transfer or allocation of the resource—taking the cash and applying it over there to rescue the business.
Is the verb พยุง (to prop up) only used for abstract or financial situations like this one?
No, พยุง is heavily used for physical support as well. You will often see it used for physically propping up a leaning tree, or supporting an injured or weak person by the arm so they do not fall. Here, it is just being applied metaphorically to a struggling company.
How does ภัย change the meaning of เศรษฐกิจ (economy) here?
ภัย means danger, peril, or disaster. While you probably know it from natural disasters (ภัยธรรมชาติ), Thai frequently uses it to form compound nouns for systemic threats. ภัยเศรษฐกิจ literally means economic danger, often referring to a recession or a severe financial crisis.
