Learning notes
Explanation
กระเป๋าเสื้อ is made from กระเป๋า, “bag; pocket,” and เสื้อ, “clothing; shirt.” It literally means a clothing pocket. It often points to the pocket on the chest of a shirt or jacket, but it can also refer more generally to a pocket attached to clothing, depending on context. The classifier กระเป๋า can be used, though in everyday descriptions people may also say things like มีกระเป๋าเสื้อสองข้าง, “has pockets on both sides.”
Usage
Use this when talking about clothing design, where someone put a small item, or the condition of a garment, such as whether a shirt has pockets or whether a pocket is torn.
Caution
For a bag you carry, use กระเป๋า. For a pants pocket, กระเป๋ากางเกง is the normal term, so do not use กระเป๋าเสื้อ for that unless the context is unusual.
