Questions & Answers about โค้ช ให้ นักกีฬา ฝึก ทุกวัน ครับ
Wait, doesn't ให้ usually mean "to give"? How does it mean "has" in this sentence?
You are right! By itself, ให้ means "to give". But when placed before another person and an action, it acts as a causative verb. This means it translates to "to have someone do something" or "to let someone do something". Here, it expresses that the coach is having the athletes train.
What is the exact word order when using ให้ for orders or permission?
The pattern is: [Subject 1] + ให้ + [Subject 2] + [Action]. In this sentence, that translates to โค้ช (Subject 1) + ให้ + นักกีฬา (Subject 2) + ฝึก ทุกวัน (Action).
Does ให้ here mean the coach forces them to train or allows them to train?
It can actually mean both! ให้ is frequently used for both giving an order ("to make/have someone do") and giving permission ("to let someone do"). Thai relies on context to tell the difference. Since it is a coach managing athletes, we naturally assume it is an instruction rather than mere permission.
I have seen นัก in other words. What does it do in นักกีฬา?
นัก is a common prefix used to indicate a person who does an activity professionally or habitually. Since กีฬา means "sports", adding นัก creates นักกีฬา (sports person / athlete). You have likely seen this same prefix in นักเรียน (student) or นักร้อง (singer).
