Learning notes

Explanation

สาวรุ่น combines สาว, “girl or young woman,” with รุ่น, “generation or age group.” It refers to a girl who is growing into a young woman, especially someone in her teens. It is an ordinary noun that can be singular or plural depending on context. People are counted with คน, as in สาวรุ่นสามคน, “three teenage girls.”

Usage

It is used when discussing teenage girls’ fashion, interests, school life, or trends. Advertising and magazines may also use สำหรับสาวรุ่น to mean “for teenage girls.”

Caution

Unlike วัยรุ่น, which can refer to a teenager of any gender, สาวรุ่น refers only to girls. It is not a precise age category; use วัยรุ่นหญิง when you need the explicit, objective meaning “female teenager.”
