Explanation
ข่าวปลอม is made from ข่าว, “news” or “information,” and ปลอม, “fake.” It can refer to deliberately fabricated stories or false information that spreads without proper checking, but the tone is strongly negative. Common verbs used with it include แชร์ “share,” เผยแพร่ “spread/publish,” เชื่อ “believe,” and ตรวจสอบ “check/verify.”
Usage
It is often used when discussing whether information is true or false, especially on social media, in politics, disasters, health claims, scams, and public warnings. It works both in official announcements and everyday conversations about suspicious posts.
Caution
Calling something ข่าวปลอม can sound like a firm accusation that it is fake. If you are not sure, soften it with อาจเป็นข่าวปลอม, meaning “it may be fake news.”
