Explanation
คำตอบ combines คำ (“word” or “expression”) with ตอบ (“to answer”), giving it the basic image of the content provided as an answer. It is used for replies to everyday questions, answers on tests or quizzes, solutions to calculations, and conclusions reached after considering a problem. In a broader context, it can also mean an answer that may resolve an issue. Common combinations include รู้คำตอบ (“know the answer”), หาคำตอบ (“look for an answer”), and คำตอบที่ถูกต้อง (“the correct answer”). ข้อ can be used when counting individual answers.
Usage
It is common when asking for or discussing an answer in conversation, classwork, homework, tests, and quizzes. It is also used when looking for a conclusion or a possible answer to a practical or social problem.
Caution
คำตอบ is a noun. To express the action “answer a question,” use the verb ตอบ in ตอบคำถาม. When you specifically mean a practical method for solving a problem, วิธีแก้ปัญหา is more precise.
