Questions & Answers about เขา ฉ้อโกง เรา ก็เลย จะ ละทิ้ง โปรเจกต์ นี้ ไปเลย ครับ
How does ไปเลย change the meaning of abandoning the project here?
By itself, ละทิ้ง just means "abandon". Adding ไปเลย at the end of the sentence adds a strong sense of finality and decisiveness. It implies that because of the fraud, you are dropping the project completely and moving on without any hesitation or looking back. It turns "abandon" into "just go right ahead and abandon".
Wait, there are two words with เลย in this sentence. Do they do the same thing?
No, they serve completely different functions here. The ก็เลย in the middle of the sentence is a conjunction meaning "therefore" or "so," linking the cause to the effect. The ไปเลย at the very end of the sentence is the completive particle combination you are learning in this lesson, emphasizing that the action will be done thoroughly and decisively.
Why use ฉ้อโกง instead of a more common word like โกง for "cheat"?
While โกง is the everyday word for cheating or tricking someone, ฉ้อโกง is more formal and carries a legal or severe weight, specifically meaning "to defraud" or "to embezzle." At a B2 level, you will see this used in business contexts, news reports, or when describing a serious financial crime, which fits perfectly with the context of a project.
Could I just say ทิ้งโปรเจกต์นี้ instead of ละทิ้ง?
Yes, you can. ทิ้ง means to throw away, discard, or leave behind. However, ละทิ้ง is a bit more elevated and abstract, specifically meaning "to forsake" or "to abandon" an idea, a duty, or a project. Using ละทิ้ง sounds much more professional in a business context than just ทิ้ง.
There is no "we" before จะละทิ้ง (will abandon). How do we know who is abandoning the project?
Thai frequently drops pronouns when the context makes it obvious. Here, เรา (us) is the object in the first clause (เขาฉ้อโกงเรา - he defrauded us). Because of the conjunction ก็เลย (so/therefore), the logical consequence applies to the speaker's group, making เรา the clearly implied subject of the second clause.
