Learning notes

Explanation

This expression combines เหงื่อ “sweat” with ออก “to come out,” so its literal image is “sweat comes out.” It describes an involuntary physical reaction caused by heat, exercise, nervousness, fear, fever, and similar conditions. Common patterns include เหงื่อออกง่าย “sweat easily,” เหงื่อออกเยอะ “sweat a lot,” and เหงื่อออกทั้งตัว “sweat all over.”

Usage

It is commonly used when talking about hot weather, exercise, nervous reactions, fever, night sweats, and other health symptoms. It is neutral enough for both everyday conversation and medical descriptions.

Caution

เหงื่อออก describes sweat naturally coming from the body; it is not normally used as a transitive verb meaning to make something produce sweat. To state the affected body part clearly, use a pattern such as เหงื่อออกที่มือ, “the hands sweat.”
