นอกจากนี้
Moreover
นอกจากนี้ adds a related point in these examples: a price, a qualification, or a further claim. Read the addition with the preceding statement.
How It Works
Adding A Point
In the food example, นอกจากนี้ adds the claim that the price is cheap after the claim that the food is delicious. In the language example, work experience abroad is the added qualification. The exercise example adds a second claim; these grammar examples do not independently verify a restaurant’s price or provide health advice. The cited university prose also uses นอกจากนี้ to add points.
Read The Added Clause
The stored examples contain ยัง after the connector, and the food example ends with อีกด้วย. Read their additive contribution in those complete sentences rather than treating either word as a required partner or assigning every possible omission the same effect.
Adding And Excluding
The primary dictionary gives besides and except meanings for นอกจาก, and besides-that wording for นอกจากนั้น. In this entry, นอกจากนี้ adds information. For the party task’s intended exclusion, the selected phrase is ยกเว้นผม, “except me.” นอกจากนี้ผม does not express that requested exception.
Following The Reference
Read what นี้ or นั้น refers to in the actual passage. These examples do not establish a fixed distance back through a text, a demonstrative-classifier rule, a required comma, or a register ranking for every connector. Compare แล้วก็ and ดังนั้น in their own complete constructions.
Examples (3)
- อาหารร้านนี้อร่อยมาก นอกจากนี้ราคายังถูกอีกด้วย
The food at this restaurant is very delicious. Moreover, the price is also cheap.
Word by Word: food shop this delicious very. besides this price still cheap more as well
Notice the use of 'ยัง...อีกด้วย' in the second sentence to reinforce the addition.
- เขาสามารถพูดได้หลายภาษา นอกจากนี้เขายังมีประสบการณ์ทำงานในต่างประเทศ
He can speak many languages. In addition to this, he has work experience abroad.
Word by Word: he can speak can many language. besides this he still have experience work in foreign country
This shows a professional context where 'นอกจากนี้' adds a second qualification.
- การออกกำลังกายช่วยให้สุขภาพดี นอกจากนี้ยังช่วยลดความเครียดได้
Exercise helps with good health. Furthermore, it can also help reduce stress.
Word by Word: exercise help give health good. besides this still help reduce stress can
นอกจากนี้ introduces a second claim about exercise after the first health claim. These are statements in the example; this grammar lesson does not establish a health recommendation.
Common Mistakes
For “Everyone goes to the party except me,” using นอกจากนี้ to introduce the exception.
ทุกคนไปงานปาร์ตี้ นอกจากนี้ผมทุกคนไปงานปาร์ตี้ ยกเว้นผมThe requested exception is ยกเว้นผม: ทุกคนไปงานปาร์ตี้ ยกเว้นผม. นอกจากนี้ผม introduces an addition instead and leaves this displayed exception unfinished.
How It Connects
Learn This First
นอกจากนี้ (moreover/furthermore) is a transition word used to add information to a previous statement. It is built from the preposition 'นอกจาก' (besides) and the demonstrative 'นี้' (this), literally meaning 'besides this'. To use it correctly, you should understand how to point to previous information and how to link sentences together.
- นอกจากBesides and Except
The word 'นอกจากนี้' is a compound of 'นอกจาก' (besides/except) and 'นี้' (this). Understanding the base meaning of 'นอกจาก' is essential.
Level 3 - และAnd — Formal Link
Since 'นอกจากนี้' is used to add information (moreover), understanding basic additive conjunctions like 'และ' provides the functional foundation for linking ideas.
