Explanation
This is a loanword from English “hit.” In Thai, it mainly means that something is popular, fashionable, or currently enjoying widespread success. It can modify a noun, as in เพลงฮิต (“hit song”), or serve as the predicate, as in เพลงนี้ฮิตมาก (“This song is very popular”). กำลังฮิต emphasizes that something is trending right now, while ฮิตมาก means that it is extremely popular. The word is common in conversation, advertising, social media, headlines, and rankings.
Usage
Commonly used when discussing popular music, movies, shows, fashion, food, stores, products, travel destinations, apps, and social-media trends.
Caution
Thai ฮิต does not normally carry the English verb senses “strike” or “hit a target.” It also describes broad popularity rather than personal preference; use ชอบ to say that an individual likes something.
