Explanation
เป้ is the short everyday form of กระเป๋าเป้. It is counted with the classifier ใบ, as in เป้หนึ่งใบ, “one backpack.” The natural verb is สะพายเป้, meaning to carry or wear a backpack. ถือเป้ would mean holding the backpack by hand rather than wearing it.
Usage
Use this word when talking about backpacks for school, travel, hiking, commuting, or daily use. In product descriptions or when you want to be more explicit, กระเป๋าเป้ is clearer.
Caution
Do not confuse เป้ with เป้า. เป้า means things like “target” or “aim,” and is a different word.
