Questions & Answers about ผู้ท้าชิง ได้ ตีเสมอ ถึง สาม รอบ ใน การแข่งขัน
Why does สามรอบ (three rounds) come after the verb phrase rather than modifying a noun?
Because รอบ is acting as an event iteration classifier here. Instead of the standard noun-counting structure (Noun + Number + Classifier), counting the frequency or iterations of an action uses the structure Verb + Number + Classifier. It counts the action of ตีเสมอ (tying the score) happening สามรอบ (three times/rounds).
I know ถึง usually means "to arrive" or "to/until". What is it doing here right before a number?
When placed directly before a quantity, ถึง acts as an adverb meaning "as many as" or "up to". It emphasizes that the number (three rounds) is unexpectedly high or impressive. The speaker is emphasizing that the challenger didn't just tie the score three times; they managed to tie it as many as three times!
Does ได้ before the verb ตีเสมอ just mark the past tense here?
Yes, placing ได้ directly before an action verb is the standard way to firmly place an event in the past. However, it also carries the nuance that the subject managed or got the chance to complete the action—in this case, successfully fighting back to equalize the score.
How does the word ตีเสมอ literally translate?
It is a compound of ตี (to hit or strike) and เสมอ (to be equal or even). Together, they form the common sports and competition term for equalizing the score or drawing a match.
