Learning notes
Explanation
รายปี is formed from ราย, which marks division by a particular unit, and ปี, meaning “year.” After a noun, it works like an adjective, as in ค่าสมาชิกรายปี (“annual membership fee”). With a verb, it can describe the timing or billing cycle, as in ชำระรายปี (“pay on a yearly basis”). It has a practical, administrative tone and is common when discussing fees, contracts, budgets, statistics, and reports organized by year.
Usage
Common in pricing plans, annual billing, membership fees, contract terms, budgets, and statistics or reports organized by year. It frequently appears in price lists, subscription forms, and business documents.
Caution
For an ordinary event that simply happens every year, ทุกปี is usually more natural. For example, “I go to Thailand every year” uses ทุกปี, not รายปี.
