Questions & Answers about ฉัน จำกัด แป้ง ค่ะ ส่วน แฟน กิน ทุก อย่าง ค่ะ
Why do we use ส่วน (suan) here instead of just saying แต่ (dtae - but)?
ส่วน translates nicely to 'as for'. While แต่ simply means 'but', ส่วน is a contrastive topic marker. It specifically tells the listener that you are switching the topic to a new person or thing (your boyfriend) to contrast their situation with the one you just mentioned (yourself).
The word แป้ง (bpaeng) usually means powder or flour. Why is it translated as starch here?
In the context of food and diets, แป้ง is the everyday Thai word for carbohydrates or starchy foods. When someone says they are limiting แป้ง, they mean they are cutting back on rice, noodles, bread, and other carbs, not just baking flour!
Why is the polite particle ค่ะ (ka) used twice in the same sentence?
In spoken Thai, people often add a polite particle at the end of a complete thought or a natural pause. Because this sentence is made of two distinct statements joined by ส่วน, placing ค่ะ at the end of each clause makes you sound very polite and helps pace the sentence naturally.
How does ทุกอย่าง (took yaang) translate to 'everything'?
The word ทุก means 'every', and อย่าง is a classifier word meaning 'kind', 'type', or 'way'. When you put them together as ทุกอย่าง, it literally means 'every kind', which is the standard way to say 'everything' in Thai.
