Explanation
กล่าวอีกนัยหนึ่ง is built from words meaning roughly “state / another / implication or sense / one.” In actual use, it functions as “in other words” or “to put it another way,” introducing a clearer, more direct, or summarized restatement of what came before. It sounds somewhat formal and is common in writing, lectures, news commentary, business documents, and presentations.
Usage
Use it when restating an abstract or complex idea more clearly, drawing a direct conclusion, or presenting the same point from another angle. It often appears at the beginning of a sentence or between two clauses, as in “A. กล่าวอีกนัยหนึ่ง B.”
Caution
It can sound a bit written or formal in casual conversation. In relaxed speech, พูดง่าย ๆ ว่า “to put it simply” or หมายความว่า “it means that” may sound more natural.
