Questions & Answers about บริษัท นี้ ทำ ธุรกิจ โลจิสติกส์ เป็นหลัก ใช่ไหม คะ
How does เป็นหลัก function in this sentence, and where is it placed?
เป็นหลัก acts as a priority marker meaning primarily or as the main focus (literally to be the main principle). In Thai syntax, it is placed directly after the noun or activity it modifies. Here, it follows ธุรกิจโลจิสติกส์ (logistics business) to show that while the company might have other operations, logistics is its core focus.
Could I use ส่วนใหญ่ (mostly) instead of เป็นหลัก in this sentence?
You could use ส่วนใหญ่, but เป็นหลัก is much more precise and professional for this business context. ส่วนใหญ่ simply means the majority (implying a percentage of volume), whereas เป็นหลัก emphasizes that logistics is the company's intentional core pillar or primary purpose.
Is it standard to use the basic verb ทำ (to do/make) with ธุรกิจ (business) in a professional context?
Yes, ทำธุรกิจ is the most natural and standard collocation in Thai, even in formal business contexts. While you might occasionally see formal verbs like ประกอบ (to operate), ทำธุรกิจ is perfectly acceptable and widely used for saying a company is in the business of something.
How does Thai handle the English loanword logistics in the word โลจิสติกส์?
Notice the final ส์ with the silencing mark (gaa-ran). Because Thai phonology does not support final consonant clusters or the English plural s sound at the end of syllables, the s is written to preserve the English spelling but is entirely silenced in pronunciation.
