กำหนด

Postby hhrh » Wed Feb 22, 2012 2:51 pm

I was listening to a Thai song the other day and I can not get my head around how to use this word in context

กำหนด

the sentence in the song is:

จะดีจะร้ายอยู่ที่หัวใจกำหนด

I understand everything, except กำหนด

Thanks!

PS - If you're interested in teen Thai music, here's a link to the song!

กำหนด = to schedule, to specify, to planify

จะดีจะร้ายอยู่ที่หัวใจกำหนด
I would translate : wether it will be good or bad, your heart will decide

My GPS often says :
กำลังกำหนดเส้นทางใหม่

กำหนด’ in this context should mean ‘determine’ or ‘judge’.

Here's an example.

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” (Hamlet - Act II, Scene II). Translation: It is our mind that judges whether something is good or bad, but in reality nothing there is no good or bad.
