Learning notes
Explanation
The expression consists of เสื้อ “an upper-body garment” followed by แขนยาว “having long sleeves.” Although แขน normally means “arm,” it can also mean the sleeve of a garment. The term does not specify a particular material or design. A more specific garment can be named with expressions such as เสื้อยืดแขนยาว “long-sleeved T-shirt” and เสื้อเชิ้ตแขนยาว “long-sleeved dress shirt.” The usual classifier for garments is ตัว. For example, เสื้อแขนยาวสองตัว means “two long-sleeved tops.” Its opposite is เสื้อแขนสั้น, “a short-sleeved top.”
Usage
It is commonly used when discussing what to wear in cold weather or strong air conditioning, and when specifying sleeve length while shopping for clothes. It is also natural when choosing clothing for protection from sunlight or insects.
Caution
This term is for upper-body garments. Long pants are called กางเกงขายาว, not เสื้อแขนยาว. By itself, เสื้อแขนยาว does not specify whether the garment is a T-shirt, dress shirt, or another kind of top.
