เผื่อ when it means "just in case"

[u/Snowman_203]

Can I use this word on its own to mean "just in case" or do I have to specify the "in case of what?" For example, can I just say กดเงินไว้เผื่อ or do I have to add something meaning "...they don't take cards", "...it turns out to be more than we thought" etc.

[u/Effect-Kitchen]

You can switch ไว้เผื่อ to be เผื่อไว้ and suddenly it won’t require the reason.

กดเงินไว้เผื่อ [require the reasoning such as ซื้อของ, เงินไม่พอ etc.]

กดเงินเผื่อไว้ (is a complete sentence already).

[u/Similar-Aspect-2259]

Yes, you can use "เผื่อ" on its own without any extra word. it already mean "just in case".

[u/yutanrw]

Yes, you have to add something meaning "...they don't take cards."
