  1. 1 T-shirt

A common noun for a T-shirt, the casual pullover top typically worn as everyday clothing.

Learning notes

Explanation

The word combines เสื้อ (“clothing” or “top”) with ยืด (“to stretch”), reflecting the stretchy fabric commonly associated with T-shirts. It is an everyday noun used regardless of the wearer's gender. Details such as color, sleeve length, and neckline follow the noun: เสื้อยืดสีดำ means “a black T-shirt,” and เสื้อยืดแขนยาว means “a long-sleeved T-shirt.” The usual classifier for clothing is ตัว. For example, เสื้อยืดสองตัว means “two T-shirts,” and เสื้อยืดตัวนี้ means “this T-shirt.”

Usage

It is commonly used when describing casual outfits and when discussing or shopping for T-shirts by color, size, sleeve length, or style.

Caution

This does not refer to shirts in general. A collared, button-front shirt is usually เสื้อเชิ้ต, while a tank top or singlet is เสื้อกล้าม. On its own, ยืด means “to stretch” or “to extend,” but เสื้อยืด functions as a single clothing term.
