Questions & Answers about เรา ต้อง โหวต ให้ ศิลปิน ใช่ไหม
Why use the English loanword โหวต (vote) here instead of the formal Thai translation ลงคะแนน?
โหวต is the most natural choice for casual, everyday voting, like in reality TV competitions, fan awards, or online polls. ลงคะแนน (or ลงคะแนนเสียง) is formal and almost exclusively used for official political elections.
Could I drop ให้ and just say โหวตศิลปิน?
No, you need ให้ here. In Thai, โหวต (like the English verb 'vote') needs a preposition to show who receives the action. ให้ acts as 'for', marking the artist as the beneficiary. Without it, the sentence sounds grammatically incomplete.
This lesson focuses on extreme degree connectors. How would we use ถึงขนาดที่ (to the extent that) to say 'Do you like them to the point where we must vote for the artist?'?
You would introduce the main situation first, then use the connector right before our example sentence, which acts as the result clause. For example: ชอบถึงขนาดที่เราต้องโหวตให้ศิลปินใช่ไหม.
Does ศิลปิน strictly mean a traditional artist like a painter or sculptor?
While it is the dictionary word for a fine artist, in modern Thai pop culture—especially in contexts where fans 'vote'—ศิลปิน is the standard term used to refer to musicians, singers, and pop idols.
