Explanation

The core idea of ฝาก is handing something over into someone else’s care. With objects it means to leave or deposit them, as in ฝากกระเป๋า. With money it means to deposit, as in ฝากเงิน. With another verb, it becomes a request pattern, such as ฝากซื้อ “ask someone to buy” or ฝากบอก “ask someone to tell.” Adding ไว้ often gives the sense of leaving something there for the time being.

Usage

ฝาก is common when leaving bags at a hotel or shop, depositing money, asking a friend to buy something, asking someone to pass on a message, or leaving a child, house, or task in someone’s care. It is useful in both everyday conversation and workplace requests.

Caution

Be careful with direction: ฝาก means you leave or entrust something, while รับฝาก means to accept something for safekeeping. ฝากกระเป๋า means “leave a bag,” but รับฝากกระเป๋า means “hold or accept a bag for someone.”
