Questions & Answers about เขา น่าจะ เปลี่ยน ไพ่ ครับ
The translation says "will likely", but doesn't น่าจะ usually mean "should"?
น่าจะ can mean both "should" and "is likely to" or "probably will." In Thai, saying someone "should" do something and predicting they "likely will" do it use the same word. Context tells us if it is a recommendation or a prediction.
Does the word ไพ่ mean any kind of card, like a credit card or ID card?
No, ไพ่ specifically refers to playing cards, card games, or tarot cards. For a credit card, ID card, or ATM card, you would use the word บัตร.
The current lesson is about ทำให้ (to cause/make). How could we add that to this sentence?
To use ทำให้, you need a cause. For example, if you wanted to say "The rules made him change the card," you would put the cause (the rules) first, followed by ทำให้, and then the rest of this sentence as the result.
If he is changing more than one card, do I need to change the word ไพ่ to plural?
Thai nouns don't change form for plural. ไพ่ can mean one card or multiple cards depending on the context. If you want to specify the exact number of cards being changed, you would add the number and the classifier ใบ at the end of the sentence.
