Learning notes
Explanation
สำรวจ centers on purposeful examination for information. It can refer to surveying an area, assessing damage, collecting opinions through a questionnaire, or checking documents and belongings. It is usable in everyday speech, but it fits especially well in practical, official, academic, business, or news contexts.
Usage
It is commonly used when investigating an accident scene or area, assessing damage after a flood, measuring customer satisfaction, or collecting data about numbers, opinions, and needs in schools, companies, government work, or research.
Caution
For the survey document itself, แบบสำรวจ is the natural word. Also, use ดู for simply looking; สำรวจ is used when there is a clear purpose of investigating or gathering information.
