Questions & Answers about ฉัน รู้สึก แคลงใจ เมื่อ เขา มึนตึง ค่ะ
"Suspicious" is translated as แคลงใจ here. Shouldn't I just use สงสัย which I learned earlier?
You can use สงสัย for general curiosity, questioning, or doubt. However, แคลงใจ is a great B2-level word that implies a deeper, more negative mistrust. It means sensing someone is hiding something or acting out of character, which fits perfectly with someone suddenly giving the silent treatment.
What is the literal breakdown of the word for "silent treatment", มึนตึง?
It is a compound of มึน (numb or dazed) and ตึง (tight or tense). Together, มึนตึง paints a picture of someone whose demeanor is tight, unresponsive, and emotionally cold toward you.
This lesson focuses on ต่างคนต่าง (acting independently). How could I change this sentence to use that grammar if we were both giving each other the silent treatment?
You would drop เมื่อเขา (when he) and place the marker before the verb. It would become เราต่างคนต่างมึนตึงใส่กัน (We each gave each other the silent treatment). This shows independent, mutual action perfectly.
Could I drop รู้สึก (to feel) and just say ฉันแคลงใจ?
Yes, you can! แคลงใจ acts as a stative verb, so ฉันแคลงใจ is grammatically correct on its own. Adding รู้สึก simply emphasizes the internal emotional state of feeling suspicious, rather than just stating the condition.
