Explanation
This is a Thai transcription of the English term “social media,” formed from โซเชียล (“social”) and มีเดีย (“media”). It broadly covers platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, where users can publish, share, and respond to content. In casual conversation, it is often shortened to โซเชียล.
Usage
It is common when discussing social networking habits, sources of news, online posts, digital advertising, public relations, and internet use. Common combinations include ใช้โซเชียลมีเดีย (“use social media”) and โพสต์บนโซเชียลมีเดีย (“post on social media”).
Caution
The term can be broader than “social networking sites” because it may also include video-sharing and other user-driven platforms. In เล่นโซเชียลมีเดีย, เล่น does not literally mean only “play”; the phrase means spending time using or browsing social media.
