Questions & Answers about คุณ จ่าย ด้วย เงินสด หรือ บัตรเครดิต ได้ ครับ
Since both ด้วย and กับ mean "with", could I use กับ in this sentence?
No, you need to use ด้วย here. ด้วย means "with" in the sense of using something as a tool, method, or instrument (like paying by means of cash). กับ means "with" in the sense of accompanying someone or something, like going to the store with a friend.
Why is ได้ (can) placed all the way at the end of the sentence?
In Thai, the word ได้ (meaning "can" or "able to") goes after the main action, often at the very end of the sentence or right before the polite particle (ครับ). So instead of saying "You can pay with...", the Thai word order is "You pay with... can."
Wait, doesn't หรือ turn the sentence into a question?
Not in this position! When placed between two choices (like เงินสด and บัตรเครดิต), หรือ simply means "or". It only acts as a question word when placed at the very end of a statement. Because it's in the middle here, this sentence is just stating your options.
What is the literal translation of the word for cash, เงินสด?
It literally translates to "fresh money"! เงิน means "money" or "silver", and สด means "fresh" (which you might also recognize from words like fresh milk or fresh coffee).
