Questions & Answers about คุณ ได้ เดิน หมาก ตัว นี้ สอง รอบ หรือยัง ครับ
Why do we use รอบ here instead of ครั้ง for "two times"?
รอบ specifically means "round," "cycle," or "turn." This fits perfectly in the context of a board game that goes in turns. ครั้ง just means "times" or "occurrences" in a general sense. By using รอบ, you emphasize "two turns" of play rather than just doing the physical action twice.
Doesn't เดิน usually mean "to walk"? Why is it translated as "moved"?
Yes, เดิน means "to walk," but in the context of board games, it is the standard verb used for moving a game piece (หมาก). Think of it as making the piece walk across the board.
I know ตัว is the classifier for animals and shirts. Why is it used for หมาก (game piece) here?
The classifier ตัว is also used for distinct objects that have a vaguely humanoid or animal-like presence or function in a system. This includes game pieces like chessmen, dolls, and even letters of the alphabet.
In this sentence, ได้ comes before the verb เดิน. Could it go after the verb instead?
Not with this meaning. When ได้ is placed before the verb, it acts as a past or present perfect tense marker ("have you moved...?"). If you placed it after the verb, it would mean "can" or "able to," which clashes with the "yet?" (หรือยัง) question structure at the end of the sentence.
