Questions & Answers about รถบรรทุก กีดขวาง ถนน รถ ก็เลย ขยับเขยื้อน ไม่ ได้ ครับ
What is the difference between ขยับ and ขยับเขยื้อน?
Both mean to move or shift. ขยับเขยื้อน is a compound of two similar words (an elaborate expression) that adds emphasis. In negative sentences like this one, it translates perfectly to 'budge' (could not budge at all), sounding a bit more absolute and dramatic than just ขยับ.
Why use กีดขวาง instead of just ขวาง?
ขวาง means to block or get in the way, which works fine in daily speech. Adding กีด (to impede) creates กีดขวาง, a slightly more formal or official-sounding compound word often used in traffic reports, news, and legal contexts for 'obstructing'.
In the second half of the sentence, why does ก็เลย come after รถ instead of at the beginning of the clause?
In Thai, ก็เลย (so/therefore) typically acts as an auxiliary and must precede the verb phrase. When the second clause introduces an explicit subject (like the cars, รถ), ก็เลย must come after that subject, not before it like the English word 'so'.
How could we add the collateral effect word พลอย (from this lesson) to this sentence?
Because the other cars are inadvertently affected by the truck, this sentence is perfect for พลอย. You would place it right before the main verb of the affected subject, often adding ไปด้วย at the end. The second clause becomes รถก็เลยพลอยขยับเขยื้อนไม่ได้ไปด้วย (so the cars inadvertently couldn't budge either), highlighting the chain reaction.
