Explanation
กติกา is best understood as shared rules that participants are expected to follow. It is very common for sports and games, but it also works naturally for meeting rules, group activities, workplace agreements, and school activities. The classifier is ข้อ, as in กติกา 3 ข้อ, “three rules.” Common combinations include ทำตามกติกา “follow the rules,” ตั้งกติกา “set rules,” ตกลงกติกา “agree on rules,” and ผิดกติกา “break the rules.”
Usage
Use this word when talking about setting, following, or breaking rules in sports, games, competitions, meetings, school or workplace activities, and online communities.
Caution
For national laws or legal systems, use กฎหมาย. กติกา is about shared rules or agreed terms among participants, not law in the legal sense.
