Learning notes
Explanation
ยกยอด combines ยก, “to lift or move,” with ยอด, “a total or balance.” Its central image is moving a figure or remainder from the current division into the next one. It is especially common in bookkeeping. ยกยอดไป indicates carrying something forward, while ยกยอดมา views it as being brought forward from an earlier page or period. It is also used for measurable allowances such as unused mobile data. By extension, it can refer to carrying unfinished content over to a later article or installment.
Usage
It is used in bookkeeping and accounting when transferring a balance to another page, month, or fiscal period. It also appears in descriptions of rollover benefits, such as unused mobile data, and occasionally when unfinished content is moved to a later installment.
Caution
For simply postponing a meeting, trip, or scheduled event, use เลื่อน instead. ยกยอด is appropriate when a balance, measurable amount, or unfinished portion is carried into the next division. Also note that ยอดยกมา is a balance brought forward, whereas ยอดยกไป is a balance carried forward.
