You couldn't tile directly over a plywood sub-floor because over time, the wood will be expanding. There are products you can use in between the plywood and tiles to keep them in place such as cement backer board.
You would be better of removing the plywood floor completely - and tiling over the original surface.
No, plywood alone is not strong enough for ceramic tile. These floors require a very sturdy subfloor at least 1 1/4" thick before the tile. This requires either using cement board or a pored mudbed.
If you are installing a floating laminate floor, you can easily put it right over the tile.
Remove the laminate floor first
You would be putting a permanent floor over a temporary floor & that would not be wise. Might work but if it doesn't you lose it all...
Yes, you can tile over plywood when installing a new floor, but it is important to ensure that the plywood is properly prepared and in good condition to provide a stable base for the tiles.

Improper installation. You must install cement board over the sub floor before you tile. If the tile was glued to plywood which is not waterproof, the plywood will absorb moisture which will cause the grout to crack and deteriorate
you have to pull the linoleum up to lay tile. . .i would suggest a cement backer board over the existing plywood also
Subfloor plywood is a type of plywood that is used as a base layer for flooring in construction projects. It is typically installed over floor joists to provide a smooth and stable surface for the finished flooring material, such as hardwood or tile. Subfloor plywood helps to distribute the weight of the flooring and provides structural support for the overall floor system.

Yes, tile can be laid on plywood, but it is important to ensure that the plywood is properly prepared and suitable for tiling to prevent issues such as cracking or shifting. It is recommended to use a cement backer board or an uncoupling membrane over the plywood before laying the tile to provide a stable and secure surface.
If you want to raise a sagging floor, you can put a piece of plywood on the floor. You can then add new flooring over the piece of plywood.
I don't recommend it. The plywood is flexible and bends over time. Cover the plywood with Hardi Backer board first. Available in the tile department at Lowe's and Home Depot. Get the right screws for it. It's easy to install, comes in manageable size of 3 feet by 5 feet. Well worth the time, effort and money to make sure your tile job lasts.

To properly tile over a plywood subfloor, follow these steps: Ensure the plywood subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Apply a waterproofing membrane to prevent moisture damage. Install a cement backer board over the plywood for added stability. Use thin-set mortar to adhere the tiles to the backer board. Allow the mortar to dry completely before grouting the tiles. Seal the grout to protect it from stains and moisture. Following these steps will help ensure a successful tile installation over a plywood subfloor.
