Explanation
This is a neutral, everyday noun used at home, at school, and in the workplace. Individual sheets are counted with the classifier แผ่น. For example, กระดาษหนึ่งแผ่น means “one sheet of paper,” and กระดาษสองแผ่น means “two sheets of paper.” To say that something is written on paper, กระดาษ commonly follows บน, as in เขียนบนกระดาษ (“write on paper”).
Usage
It is commonly used when asking for paper, writing or printing on it, refilling a printer, buying paper products, or wrapping something.
Caution
กระดาษ primarily refers to paper as a material. Use เอกสาร for documents, จดหมาย for a letter, and หนังสือพิมพ์ for a newspaper.
