Explanation
คาบเรียน is made from คาบ, meaning a period or block of time, and เรียน, meaning to study. It is a normal word in school, university, and tutoring contexts. When counting, Thai commonly uses คาบ, as in หนึ่งคาบ “one period,” สองคาบ “two periods,” คาบแรก “the first period,” and คาบสุดท้าย “the last period.”
Usage
It is commonly used by students, teachers, and parents when talking about timetables, the number of class periods, behavior during class, and when a class starts or ends.
Caution
Do not use คาบเรียน when you mean a school subject itself. For “my favorite subject,” use วิชา. คาบเรียนภาษาไทย means the Thai class period or Thai lesson slot.
