Learning notes
Explanation
The core idea of จาง is low intensity or weak concentration. It can describe pale color, weak coffee, a faint smell, or something abstract that loses force, such as a memory or feeling. Forms like จางลง and จางไป make the sense of becoming weaker or fading away clearer.
Usage
Use it in everyday situations for faded clothing or photos, weak drinks, faint smells, and diluted flavors. It is also natural for memories, impressions, anger, sadness, or romantic feelings that fade over time.
Caution
Do not use จาง for physical thinness. Thin paper is กระดาษบาง, not กระดาษจาง. For a thin or slim person, use ผอม, not จาง.
