Questions & Answers about ในทางกลับกัน สิ่งพิมพ์ หนัก มาก ตอน พก ครับ

How does the discourse marker ในทางกลับกัน break down literally?
It translates literally to "in the reversed way." It is made up of ใน (in) + ทาง (way/path) + กลับกัน (reversed or opposite to each other). This is the standard way to say "on the other hand" or "conversely" when comparing two contrasting ideas.
Could I use ถือ instead of พก for "carried" in this sentence?
Not quite, as they mean different types of carrying. ถือ means to physically hold something in your hand. พก means to carry something on your person, such as in a pocket, purse, or backpack. Since printed matter (like a physical book) is usually carried around in a bag rather than held constantly in your hands, พก is the natural choice here.
Why is the word ตอน used for "when" here instead of เมื่อ?
ตอน (literally "part" or "section") is used here to mean "during the time of." It is very common in everyday spoken Thai for specific moments or experiences. เมื่อ could also be used and is grammatically correct, but it tends to sound a bit more formal.
I know พิมพ์ means "to print" or "to type". How does สิ่ง change its meaning in สิ่งพิมพ์?
สิ่ง means "thing" or "item." Placing it before a verb is a common pattern to create a noun representing the physical object produced by or related to that action. So, สิ่งพิมพ์ literally means "printed thing," which is used as the formal term for "printed matter" or "publications."
