Be affected by something else
To be changed or decided by something else.
รูปแบบการใช้:

คำพ้องความหมาย
hinge on (Slightly more figurative but common in the same contexts.)
คำตรงข้าม
be independent of (Describes something not affected or determined by another factor.)

คำตรงข้าม
be certain (Indicates something is fixed and not subject to change.)
