นัก is a prefix that you put in front of verbs or nouns and it creates the meaning of “ profession”.
For example: นักเรียน (nák rian). นักเรียน means student. เรียน (rian) means “to study”. So the nak prefix + to learn = student.
If you know the word that comes after nák then you will be able to guess the meaning!
The formula is นัก (nák) + verb or noun.
