Questions & Answers about พวก เรา จะ แบ่ง เงิน กัน ครับ
The lesson says กัน goes right after the main verb, but here it comes after เงิน (money). Why is that?
When a verb has an object (like เงิน), กัน usually goes after that object. Think of แบ่งเงิน (to divide money) as a single action phrase. The structure simply becomes Verb + Object + กัน.
Does กัน here mean 'together' or 'each other'?
It translates best to 'among each other' here, since they are splitting up the money so everyone gets a share. If you just said พวกเราจะแบ่งเงิน, it could mean you are dividing the money to give to a third party. Adding กัน clarifies you are keeping it and sharing it among yourselves.
Is แบ่ง the same word I would use to 'share' a picture online?
No, แบ่ง specifically means to physically divide, split, or portion something out, like money or a pizza. To share a post or picture online, Thai simply uses the English loanword แชร์ (share).
Can I just use เรา instead of พวกเรา?
Yes, absolutely! เรา by itself is very commonly used for 'we'. Adding พวก (which indicates a group) just makes it crystal clear that you mean 'we' as a collective group, rather than the casual 'I' that เรา can sometimes mean in spoken Thai.
