Questions & Answers about ฉัน รู้สึก พะอืดพะอม ซะจน ต้อง ขอ ยาดม ค่ะ
This lesson is about the collective adverbial ไปตามๆ กัน. Could we use it in this sentence?
No, because the subject here is ฉัน (I), which is singular. ไปตามๆ กัน implies a shared consequence among multiple people. If the subject were plural, you could add it: พวกเรารู้สึกพะอืดพะอมไปตามๆ กัน (We all felt equally nauseous...).
What is the difference between using จน and ซะจน here?
Both mean 'so [adjective] that [result]'. However, adding ซะ puts extra conversational emphasis on the extreme degree of the feeling. It comes from เสีย, a particle used to emphasize that an action is definitive or extreme, making ซะจน sound more expressive than just จน.
I usually use คลื่นไส้ for feeling nauseous. How is พะอืดพะอม different?
คลื่นไส้ is the standard word for feeling like you are going to vomit. พะอืดพะอม is more descriptive; it paints a picture of a heavy, churning, uneasy feeling in your stomach or chest. It is also often used metaphorically for a situation that is deeply awkward or hard to swallow.
Why do we say ต้องขอยาดม (had to ask for an inhaler) instead of just saying we used one?
It highlights the helpless state of the speaker. By saying ขอ (to ask for / request), it implies the nausea was so bad they couldn't just handle it themselves and had to ask someone nearby to hand them an inhaler, which is a very common cultural reflex in Thailand when feeling faint.
