Learning notes
Explanation
The core image is that of passing a loop-shaped object around something, leaving it attached or connected. It is used for placing a garland around someone's neck, looping a strap over an arm, chaining a bicycle to a post, or linking arms with another person. With a rope or noose, it can also mean catching an animal with a loop. The same image of elements joining neatly extends to sounds and rhymes that fit together. คล้องจอง is the common explicit term for rhyming, while สอดคล้อง is normally used for logical consistency or agreement between facts, ideas, or actions.
Usage
It is common when putting a garland or strap around the neck, shoulder, or arm; securing something with a chain or rope; or walking arm in arm. It also appears in discussions of rhymes and matching sounds in poetry, lyrics, slogans, and wordplay.
Caution
คล้อง is not a general-purpose verb for every kind of “hanging” or “putting on.” Use แขวน for hanging a picture or another object from a support, and ใส่ for wearing glasses. คล้อง normally involves passing a loop, strap, chain, or similar object around something.
