Questions & Answers about มิน่าล่ะ เครือญาติ ถึงได้ บาดหมาง กัน ครับ
Why do we need ถึงได้ here if มิน่าล่ะ already expresses 'no wonder'?
They work as a common grammatical pair to express a sudden realization. มิน่าล่ะ sets up the 'Ah, no wonder...' feeling at the beginning of the thought, while ถึงได้ is placed before the verb to mean 'that is why [the action happened]'. You will frequently hear them framing a sentence together when a speaker finally understands the root cause of a situation.
Is เครือญาติ different from just saying ญาติ for relatives?
Yes, it is slightly broader and more descriptive. While ญาติ simply means 'relative', adding เครือ (which literally means a vine or a creeping plant) turns it into a collective noun meaning 'extended family', 'kinship network', or 'clan'.
What makes up the word บาดหมาง (to have a rift)?
It is a descriptive compound word used specifically for severely broken relationships. บาด means 'to cut' or 'to wound', and หมาง means 'to be estranged' or 'to feel awkward'. Together, they vividly describe an emotional bond that has been deeply damaged, usually by a serious conflict or family feud.
Could we drop กัน since it's already obvious the relatives are fighting?
You could, but it would sound slightly incomplete to a native ear. Because บาดหมาง describes a mutual conflict, keeping กัน (each other/together) emphasizes that the estrangement is happening between the multiple parties involved. It acts as the perfect closing piece to complete the reciprocal action.
