Good day everyone...I need some translation assistance on the following:

"จะมีความสุขทั้งวัน มันจะได้ไหม หืมม"

Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

[Rick Bradford]

Fairly literally:

Will have happiness the whole day -- can have or not? Hmmm....

[Pirin]

Here's another attempt.
"จะมีความสุขทั้งวัน มันจะได้ไหม หืมม"

~ "I can just be happy all day, can't I? Hmm."

(I have no idea whether we can say, "I'll just be happy all day, can't I? Hmm." or not.)

[claude06thailand]

As there is no pronoun in Thai, maybe it could be :

will it really be possible to be happy all day ? Hmm...

[Pirin]

"จะมีความสุขทั้งวัน มันจะได้ไหม หืมม" can be one of the ways the speaker expresses what he or she wishes.

[DonSena]

To be happy all day long (จะมีความสุขทั้งวัน), is it possible (มันจะได้ไหม) ?? I wonder … (หืมม)
“Can’t I” implies it should be true (even if it happens not to be).

It seems the speaker is pondering the question open-mindedly.

For “Can’t I?”, could we possible say:
มันจะเป็นไปไม่ได้(กับฉัน)หรอกหรือ (implying it at least ought to be possible, whether or not it actually is)

Native speakers, please weigh in!

[Pirin]

"จะมีความสุขทั้งวัน มันจะได้ไหม หืมม" implies that the speakers actually does want to be happy all day long; however, unexpected obstacles happen to arise.

Therefore, the speaker wishes the opposite situation.

"มันจะเป็นไปไม่ได้(กับฉัน)หรอกหรือ" is grammatically correct, but is not commonly said; it is the inherited meaning of "มันจะได้ไหม" or even "ได้ไหม" though.

In a nutshell.
I know that จะ is covered in 'can have' (haven't yet so must be future), but new learners want to see the words I think.
What about; have happiness entire day; will get or not (get) hmm!
ไหม มาจาก (comes from) หรือไม่ - this is also useful for new learners; better than 'question word' particle etc.

When you say that "the speaker *wishes* the opposite situation," do you possibly mean that she *anticipates* the opposite situation (since unexpected obstacles happen to arise from to time to time) ?
