Questions & Answers about มูลนิธิ นี้ ได้ ให้ โอกาส ชุมชน ครับ
Why is ได้ placed right before the verb ให้? Doesn't ได้ usually go at the end of a sentence?
In earlier lessons, you saw ได้ at the end of a sentence to mean 'can'. However, when ได้ is placed directly before a verb, it acts as a past occurrence marker. It emphasizes that the action actually happened. So ได้ให้ means the foundation 'did give' the opportunity.
Why isn't there a Thai word for 'to' before ชุมชน (community)?
In Thai, the verb ให้ (to give) often doesn't need a preposition like 'to' when stating who receives something. You can just follow the thing being given (โอกาส) directly with the receiver (ชุมชน).
Why is the word for 'this' นี้ instead of นี่?
You use นี่ (falling tone) when 'this' stands alone as a pronoun, like 'This is a foundation'. But when 'this' acts as an adjective describing a noun, you use นี้ (high tone) and place it directly after the noun. That is why 'this foundation' is มูลนิธินี้.
Does ให้ mean 'to let' or 'to give' in this sentence?
Here it means 'to give'. While ให้ can mean 'to let' or 'to make someone do something' in other contexts, here it is paired directly with a noun object. ให้ (to give) plus โอกาส (opportunity) forms the phrase ให้โอกาส, meaning 'to give an opportunity'.
