Explanation

สั่งเสีย is built from สั่ง, “to order or instruct,” but it does not mean “to order” as in ordering food. Its core idea is leaving important words for someone to follow when the speaker is gone or absent. It is common around deathbed wishes, but it can also be used before a long absence, a serious trip, or a risky situation. คำสั่งเสีย is the noun phrase for final words or last wishes.

Usage

It is used around deathbeds, funerals, memories of a deceased person's words, family responsibilities, property matters, long trips, or serious departures. It is not an everyday casual verb, but it is natural in stories, news, and emotionally weighty situations.

Caution

It is too heavy for a casual message or an ordinary request. Use บอก, ฝากบอก, สั่ง, or กำชับ for lighter situations. For a formal legal will, use พินัยกรรม.
