Learning notes
Explanation
This is the standard word for describing someone as unmarried or as not currently having a romantic partner. It commonly follows the person being described: ฉันโสด means “I'm single.” Expressions such as ยังโสดอยู่ mean “still single,” while คนโสด refers to a single person or single people. In official marital-status contexts, it means “unmarried.” In everyday conversation and on social media, it can more broadly mean that someone is not currently dating anyone. Older senses relating to a part, section, or instance are not generally useful for modern learners and are omitted here.
Usage
Common in introductions, conversations about dating and relationships, and social-media profiles. It also appears in forms and other official contexts to indicate an unmarried marital status.
Caution
โสด does not imply a lack of dating or sexual experience. A divorced person may describe themselves as โสด in casual conversation if they are currently unattached, but official forms distinguish this from หย่า, “divorced.” Asking คุณโสดไหม can also feel personal, especially in a formal setting or with someone you have just met.
