Learning notes
Explanation
ข้อ means an item, point, or clause, and ตกลง means to agree or decide, so ข้อตกลง has the idea of “agreed points.” It is not just a wish or opinion; it refers to content that the parties have accepted. It is usable in everyday speech, but it is especially common in meetings, business, contracts, school rules, and online service terms.
Usage
Use it when referring to agreed details such as business agreements, decisions made in a meeting, transaction terms, terms of service, or rules agreed on between family members or friends.
Caution
ตกลง by itself can be a verb or response meaning “to agree” or “OK,” but ข้อตกลง is a noun. To say “to reach/make an agreement,” use patterns such as ตกลงกัน or ทำข้อตกลง.
