Explanation
ตรวจสอบ is used when you are not just looking at something, but checking it for accuracy, problems, evidence, or truth. It commonly appears with words such as ข้อมูล “information,” เอกสาร “documents,” หลักฐาน “evidence,” สภาพรถ “car condition,” and ข้อเท็จจริง “facts.” The noun form is การตรวจสอบ, meaning a check, inspection, examination, audit, or investigation depending on context.
Usage
Common in workplace communication, document and data checks, official or banking procedures, equipment and vehicle inspections, and investigations into evidence, causes, or facts. It can be used in everyday speech, but it sounds somewhat orderly and formal.
Caution
Use ดู for simply looking at something. In medical contexts, ตรวจ, ตรวจร่างกาย, or ตรวจอาการ often sounds more natural for examining a patient.
