Questions & Answers about ผู้เข้าแข่งขัน จำ เนื้อเพลง ไม่ ได้ ด้วยซ้ำ ค่ะ
How does ด้วยซ้ำ function at the end of this sentence compared to a word like แม้แต่ (even)?
While แม้แต่ is placed before a noun to mean "even [noun]", ด้วยซ้ำ goes at the end of a clause. It emphasizes the entire preceding statement, showing that the situation is more extreme or surprising than expected. Here, it adds the feeling of "...doesn't remember the lyrics, even!" or "actually, [they] don't remember the lyrics."
Why do we use จำ...ไม่ได้ (cannot remember) here instead of just ไม่จำ (doesn't remember)?
In English, we often say someone "doesn't remember," but in Thai, ไม่จำ implies an active choice: "chooses not to remember" or "won't memorize." To express that someone has forgotten or fails to recall something, Thai treats it as an inability, which is why we use ไม่ได้ (cannot) after the verb จำ (to remember).
What are the component parts of ผู้เข้าแข่งขัน (contestant)?
It breaks down into ผู้ (person/doer) + เข้า (to enter) + แข่งขัน (to compete). At this level, you will see ผู้ attached to many verbs or action phrases to create formal nouns for the people performing that action.
The word for lyrics is เนื้อเพลง. Doesn't เนื้อ usually mean "meat"?
Yes, เนื้อ commonly means meat (especially beef), but its broader meaning is the "flesh," "substance," or "core content" of something. Therefore, เนื้อเพลง literally translates to the "substance of the song," which is how Thai expresses "lyrics."
