Learning notes
Explanation
The core image of กระแทก is a forceful impact. It can be used both intransitively, meaning something bumps or crashes, and transitively, meaning someone hits or slams something. It commonly appears with body parts, vehicles, objects, and doors, and words like แรง “hard” or ลงพื้น “down onto the floor” make the force or direction clearer.
Usage
It is commonly used for accidents, falls, bumping body parts, putting things down with a bang, or slamming doors. It is a normal everyday word and also appears in news reports.
Caution
For light contact, use แตะ, and for a general collision, ชน may be more natural. กระแทก implies force, so it does not fit gentle or careful actions.
