Explanation
หมู่นี้ refers to a recent, familiar stretch of time extending up to the present. It commonly appears with weather, workload, health, mood, habits, and other situations that have continued or occurred repeatedly. Its duration is not fixed. It may cover the past few days, but depending on the topic it can extend over several weeks. The form consists of หมู่, “group,” and นี้, “this.” It can be understood as treating the recent days as one period. In phrases such as คนหมู่นี้, however, หมู่ plus นี้ can literally refer to “this group”; that is a different grammatical use from the time adverb.
Usage
Common in everyday conversation about recent weather, routines, workload, health, mood, or changes in someone’s behavior. It is also used when asking how someone has been lately.
Caution
It does not mean that a single action has “just” happened; use เพิ่ง for that meaning. Although English “recently” can describe one completed event, หมู่นี้ is especially natural with ongoing situations and recurring trends.
