Questions & Answers about ฉัน กรีด แป้ง ก้อน นั้น ก่อน อบ ค่ะ
Why is แป้ง used for dough here when it usually means powder or flour?
แป้ง is a broad term covering powder, flour, batter, and dough. The context of baking (อบ) combined with the classifier ก้อน, which is used for lumps or chunks, makes it clear that this is a solid loaf of dough.
What is the exact meaning of กรีด?
กรีด means to make a shallow, precise cut or to slit. In baking, it is the exact word for 'scoring' dough. You will also see this word used in everyday life for applying liquid eyeliner (กรีดตา).
The English translation says 'before baking it', but I do not see the word for 'it' in the Thai sentence. Why is it missing?
Thai frequently drops pronouns when the context is obvious. Since 'that loaf of dough' was just mentioned earlier in the sentence, adding มัน (it) after อบ (bake) is completely unnecessary and would actually sound a bit unnatural to a native speaker.
Since this lesson focuses on พอสมควร (fairly / reasonably), how would I use it here to say I scored the dough 'fairly deeply'?
You would add the adjective ลึก (deep) followed by พอสมควร right after the object. The phrase would become กรีดแป้งก้อนนั้นลึกพอสมควร (scored that dough fairly deeply). Note that พอสมควร modifies the adjective ลึก to show the degree of the cut.
