Learning notes
Explanation
บริษัท is a loanword of Sanskrit origin, but in modern Thai it is an ordinary core business word, not a rare or overly formal term. In official company names, it commonly appears at the beginning, as in บริษัท ABC จำกัด. Depending on context, it can also mean one’s employer or workplace, not just the company as an abstract organization.
Usage
Used in job hunting, workplace conversations, business dealings, company introductions, contracts, news, economics, and official paperwork. It is essential for talking about working at a company, writing a company name, signing with a company, or establishing a company.
Caution
บริษัท primarily means the business organization. If you need to refer strictly to the building, use a phrase such as อาคารบริษัท. It is also not interchangeable with ร้าน “shop/store,” โรงงาน “factory,” or องค์กร “organization” in every context.
