Learning notes
Explanation
ต้นแบบ is built from ต้น, meaning “origin” or “base,” and แบบ, meaning “form” or “model.” In technology, design, and manufacturing, it commonly means a prototype. In education, business, and social contexts, it means a model or example that others can follow. Common patterns include เป็นต้นแบบของ... “be the model for...,” ใช้...เป็นต้นแบบ “use ... as a model,” and ต้นแบบด้าน... “a model in the area of...”
Usage
It is common in business, software development, product design, education, government, and social projects. Use it when talking about prototypes, base models for future development, or successful examples that others should follow.
Caution
For a simple “example,” ตัวอย่าง is usually more natural. Use ต้นแบบ when something serves as a base, standard, or model to follow. When used for a person, it is normally positive.
