Learning notes
Explanation
คงทน combines the ideas of remaining stable and withstanding pressure or wear. It is commonly used for products, materials, buildings, clothes, tools, and other things whose quality or usability lasts. It can also describe lasting relationships, effects, or values, though physical durability is the core use.
Usage
Use it when talking about product quality, reviews, materials, construction, tools, bags, shoes, clothing, and other things that should last. It is also natural in everyday speech when saying something is sturdy or long-lasting.
Caution
For a person enduring heat, pain, or hardship in the moment, use ทน rather than คงทน. For example, “endure heat” is ทนร้อน.
