Explanation

The core idea of วิจัย is collecting evidence and analyzing it to produce knowledge or findings. It is a fairly formal word used in universities, research institutes, medicine, science, education, social surveys, and business analysis. As a noun, it commonly appears in phrases like งานวิจัย “research work,” การวิจัย “research as an activity,” and ผลการวิจัย “research findings.”

Usage

Use this word in academic papers, thesis work, news reports, medical or scientific explanations, government reports, and business research contexts. It is also natural when describing someone’s field of research or professional work.

Caution

Do not use วิจัย for every kind of “look up” or “check.” For a quick search, use ค้นหา; for checking or verifying, use ตรวจสอบ; for studying or learning, use ศึกษา. The standard word for “researcher” is นักวิจัย, not คนวิจัย.
