Explanation
วิธี is a basic noun meaning the way or method of doing something. It commonly comes before an action, as in วิธีใช้ “how to use,” วิธีทำ “how to make/do,” and วิธีแก้ปัญหา “a way to solve a problem.” วิธีการ is very close in meaning, but it sounds a little more formal or procedural, so it is common in instructions, official guidance, and business writing. In everyday speech, วิธี is usually enough.
Usage
Use it when asking about or explaining how to do something, such as studying, cooking, operating a device, solving a problem, registering for something, or choosing a payment method.
Caution
วิธี is a noun, so it is not usually used by itself to ask “how?” In direct questions, ยังไง or อย่างไร is more natural. For example, พูดยังไง means “How do you say it?”, while วิธีพูด means “the way to say it” or “speaking method.”
