Questions & Answers about นักธุรกิจ ต้อง เดินทาง บ่อยๆ ครับ
How does the prefix นัก- work in นักธุรกิจ?
นัก- is a prefix used to describe a person who is an expert, practitioner, or deeply involved in a specific activity. Here, it attaches to the noun ธุรกิจ (business) to mean "businessperson". You will see this prefix a lot, such as in นักเรียน (student - someone who studies) or นักร้อง (singer - someone who sings).
Does เดินทาง literally mean "walk way"?
Yes! It breaks down into เดิน (to walk) and ทาง (way or path). However, as a compound word, เดินทาง broadly means "to travel" or "to make a journey". You use it for all kinds of travel, whether by plane, train, or car, not just walking.
Why is there a special symbol at the end of บ่อยๆ?
That symbol (ๆ) is called a mai yamok. It tells you to repeat the word immediately before it. Instead of just saying บ่อย (often), you say บ่อยๆ (boi-boi). Repeating an adjective or adverb like this is very common in Thai to smooth out the rhythm of the sentence or to add slight emphasis, making it mean "very often".
The English translation says "businesspeople", but how do we know it is plural?
Thai nouns do not change form to show plurals. A word like นักธุรกิจ can mean one businessperson or many. Because this sentence is making a broad, general statement about what this type of professional has to do, we translate it naturally into English as the general plural "businesspeople".
