Learning notes
Explanation
The word combines สวน, meaning “garden” or “park,” with สัตว์, meaning “animal.” It is the standard word for a zoo in both everyday conversation and written information. Use the classifier แห่ง when counting zoos: สวนสัตว์สองแห่ง means “two zoos.”
Usage
Use it when discussing family outings, school field trips, or sightseeing plans, as well as animals you want to see, opening hours, and admission fees.
Caution
สวน on its own does not mean “zoo.” Use the complete word สวนสัตว์.
