เหงื่อ　ออก　ทั้ง　ร่างกาย　เลย　ครับ
Sweat is coming out of my whole body!
From Lesson 122:All and whole (ทั้ง)·Thai

Questions & Answers about เหงื่อ　ออก　ทั้ง　ร่างกาย　เลย　ครับ

How does ทั้ง work with ร่างกาย in this sentence?
The word ทั้ง means "all" or "whole". When placed right before a single item like ร่างกาย (body), it means "the entire [noun]". So ทั้งร่างกาย translates to "the whole body".
Why do we use the word ออก (to come out) for sweating?
In Thai, เหงื่อ is only a noun meaning "sweat" or "perspiration". It cannot be used as an action verb like in English ("I am sweating"). To describe the action, Thai uses ออก (to exit / come out), making the phrase literally "sweat comes out".
Could I use ตัว (body) instead of ร่างกาย here?
Yes, you can say ทั้งตัว (the whole body) and it sounds very natural and slightly more casual. ร่างกาย emphasizes the physical human body system, but both are perfectly fine to use in this situation.
Where is the word for "my" in "my whole body"?
Thai frequently leaves out pronouns like "I" or "my" when the context is clear. Since the speaker is talking about themselves and ends the sentence with the polite male particle ครับ, it is naturally understood that it is their own body.
What is the purpose of เลย at the end of the sentence?
เลย is used here for emphasis. While ทั้งร่างกาย already means "the whole body", adding เลย acts like an exclamation point. It stresses how extreme the sweating is, adding a feeling of "completely" to the sentence.
