Explanation
กล่าวสุนทรพจน์ is made from กล่าว, “to state or say,” and สุนทรพจน์, “speech.” It is not limited to political speeches; it can also be used for formal remarks at ceremonies, conferences, award events, graduations, or receptions. The expression sounds formal and is common in news, official announcements, introductions, and reports.
Usage
It is commonly used when a representative, guest, official, or speaker addresses an audience at a ceremony, conference, opening event, graduation, award ceremony, reception, or public event.
Caution
Do not use it for casual talking, chatting with friends, or simply saying a few words. In those cases, พูด or พูดคุย is more natural.
