Learning notes
Explanation
ทุกเดือน is formed from ทุก (“every” or “each”) and เดือน (“month”), so its literal structure is “every month.” It commonly follows the action or event it modifies, as in เราประชุมทุกเดือน (“We meet every month”). It can also appear at the beginning of a sentence to make the monthly schedule the topic. The form ทุกๆ เดือน is also common and has essentially the same meaning. ทุกเดือน is neutral and natural in both conversation and writing.
Usage
It is used for monthly routines and schedules such as meetings, medical appointments, sending money, or paying rent. It can also describe something that changes each month, such as prices or expenses.
Caution
ทุกเดือน expresses recurring frequency: “every month.” To state an amount or number per month, use เดือนละ, as in เดือนละ 1,000 บาท (“1,000 baht per month”). รายเดือน instead describes something arranged or calculated on a monthly basis, as in ค่าบริการรายเดือน (“monthly service fee”).
