Learning notes
Explanation
ถูกคอ can be understood as combining ถูก, “to suit or be agreeable,” with คอ, “taste or preference,” but it is best learned as a fixed expression meaning “to get along well” or “to hit it off.” Common patterns are ถูกคอกัน, “to get along with each other,” and ถูกคอกับ + person, “to get along with someone.” It can be used for friends, coworkers, bosses, relatives, and other relationships, not only romance.
Usage
Use it when people quickly become comfortable with each other, when describing chemistry between friends or coworkers, or when saying that two people do or do not naturally get along.
Caution
Do not use ถูกคอ for things such as food, clothes, or objects “matching” or “being suitable.” Use expressions such as ถูกใจ, เหมาะกับ, or เข้ากัน depending on the meaning. Also, ถูกคอ is an idiom, not a passive construction.
