Explanation
เจ็ด is the basic Thai number word for seven. Its Thai numeral form is ๗. When counting people or objects, the usual pattern is “noun + เจ็ด + classifier.” For example, หนังสือเจ็ดเล่ม means “seven books,” and นักเรียนเจ็ดคน means “seven students.” To express an ordinal, place ที่ before the number: ที่เจ็ด means “seventh.”
Usage
It is used in everyday contexts involving the number seven, including quantities, ages, prices, and phone numbers. It also appears in dates, as in วันที่เจ็ด (“the seventh day of the month”), and ordinals, as in ที่เจ็ด (“seventh”).
Caution
When counting objects, เจ็ด does not normally come before the noun; “seven books” is หนังสือเจ็ดเล่ม. Use ที่เจ็ด, rather than เจ็ด alone, for “seventh.” Also, เจ็ดโมง normally means 7 a.m.; 7 p.m. is commonly expressed as หนึ่งทุ่ม.
