Learning notes
Explanation
The phrase breaks down as ความรัก “love,” ทำให้ “make/cause,” and คนตาบอด “a blind person.” Literally it says “love makes people blind,” but it is normally figurative, referring to poor judgment caused by romantic feelings. It is used when someone ignores flaws, troubling behavior, or warnings from others because they are in love.
Usage
It is common in relationship advice, comments between friends, and dialogue in dramas or stories. It fits situations where someone is so in love that they cannot see problems that are obvious to others.
Caution
ตาบอด literally means “blind,” so using it directly about a person can be inappropriate depending on context. In this expression, it is meant figuratively.
