Explanation
ข้อ means an item, point, or clause, and ยกเว้น means to exclude or make an exception. Together, ข้อยกเว้น refers to an exception as a specific item or case outside the normal rule. It is common in explanations of rules, conditions, policies, and requirements.
Usage
Use this word when discussing rules, policies, requirements, contracts, fees, eligibility, or other situations where one case is treated differently from the general rule. Common patterns include มีข้อยกเว้น “there is an exception” and ไม่มีข้อยกเว้น “there are no exceptions.”
Caution
ข้อยกเว้น is a noun, so it does not work by itself as “except.” To say “except for...,” use ยกเว้น..., as in ทุกคนมา ยกเว้นเขา “Everyone came except him.”
