ในแง่ของ
In Terms of
ในแง่ของ frames a statement in terms of an aspect such as quality, social value, profit, history, or use.
Read each complete sentence; the phrase does not by itself guarantee formality, precision, criticism, or the truth of an evaluation.
How It Works
1. Identify The Aspect
ในแง่ของคุณภาพ names quality; ในแง่ของสังคม and ในแง่ของกำไร name social value and profit. These are the aspects selected by the displayed statements, not independently verified product or project evaluations.
2. Read The Complete Placement
The quality and app examples place the aspect phrase first. The project and city examples place it later in the statement. These examples illustrate their own placements without requiring one position in every sentence.
3. Read The Following Expression
The use example contains การใช้งาน. The last example instead has ในแง่ที่ว่าทุกคนสามารถมีส่วนร่วมได้, followed by the clause that everyone can participate. Read this complete variant as displayed; this example does not prove that every following clause requires exactly this wording or that ของ can only precede a noun.
4. Read The Requested Comparisons
The salad comparison requests the direct statement ส้มตำนี้เผ็ดมากเลย. The alternative with ในแง่ของรสชาติ adds an aspect frame; that difference does not make every such lunch sentence grammatically wrong, stiff, or inappropriate. The second comparison requests the complete expression มองโลกในแง่ดี for an optimistic outlook. It does not establish a rule removing ของ before every adjective.
5. Keep Claims Within Their Context
The written examples do not establish usage frequency, a required professional register, or a history of borrowing from English. Their displayed evaluations remain statements within the examples.
Examples (5)
- ในแง่ของคุณภาพ สินค้านี้ดีที่สุดในตลาด
In terms of quality, this product is the best in the market.
Word by Word: in + aspect + of + quality + product + this + good + most + in + market
ในแง่ของคุณภาพ frames the displayed best-in-the-market assertion in terms of quality. This example teaches the sentence, not an independent claim about a real product.
- โครงการนี้อาจจะคุ้มค่าในแง่ของสังคม แต่ไม่คุ้มค่าในแง่ของกำไร
This project may be worthwhile in terms of social value, but not in terms of profit.
Word by Word: project + this + may + worthwhile + in + aspect + of + society + but + not + worthwhile + in + aspect + of + profit
The complete statement contrasts social value with profit as two aspects. อาจจะ keeps may; neither outcome is independently measured here.
- เมืองนี้ดูน่าสนใจในแง่ของประวัติศาสตร์
This city looks interesting in terms of history.
Word by Word: city + this + look + interesting + in + aspect + of + history
ในแง่ของประวัติศาสตร์ names history as the aspect of the displayed interest. The example does not identify a city or verify its history.
- ในแง่ของการใช้งาน แอปนี้สะดวกมาก
In terms of use, this app is very convenient.
Word by Word: in + aspect + of + [nominalizer] + use + app + this + convenient + very
การใช้งาน supplies use after ในแง่ของ in this complete sentence. The convenience assertion belongs to the displayed example, not an independent app evaluation.
- มันน่าสนใจในแง่ที่ว่าทุกคนสามารถมีส่วนร่วมได้
It is interesting in the sense that everyone can participate.
Word by Word: it + interesting + in + aspect + that + [clause marker] + everyone + can + have + part + join + can
The complete ในแง่ที่ว่า expression introduces the displayed clause that everyone can participate. This example illustrates that wording without requiring it for every clause.
Common Mistakes
Not giving the requested direct statement.
ในแง่ของรสชาติ ส้มตำนี้เผ็ดมากส้มตำนี้เผ็ดมากเลยThe displayed task requests ส้มตำนี้เผ็ดมากเลย as a direct statement about spiciness. ในแง่ของรสชาติ ส้มตำนี้เผ็ดมาก instead adds an aspect frame about taste. This difference does not prove that the alternative is ungrammatical or that every aspect-framed lunch sentence sounds stiff.
Changing the requested optimistic-outlook expression.
เขามองโลกในแง่ของดีเขามองโลกในแง่ดีเขามองโลกในแง่ดี supplies the requested optimistic-outlook expression. เขามองโลกในแง่ของดี does not supply that same expression. Compare the complete pair; it does not establish that ของ must disappear before every adjective in every construction.
How It Connects
Learn This First
To understand 'ในแง่ของ' (in terms of), learners need to be familiar with basic prepositions like 'ใน' (in) and the possessive/linking marker 'ของ' (of). The phrase literally translates to 'in the angle of', where 'แง่' means angle or aspect.
