Learning notes
Explanation
ตรวจร่างกาย is made from ตรวจ, “to check or examine,” and ร่างกาย, “body.” When the subject is the person being checked, especially in ไปตรวจร่างกาย, it naturally means “to go for a physical check-up.” When the subject is a doctor or examiner, it means “to examine someone’s body medically.”
Usage
Commonly used at hospitals and clinics, for workplace or school health requirements, pre-employment physicals, visa applications, insurance, and sports participation checks.
Caution
ตรวจร่างกาย normally refers to a medical examination. It is not the usual word for a police body search or checking someone’s belongings; expressions such as ตรวจค้นร่างกาย are used for that.
