The Thai words for "definition" and its derivates

+0
−0

I understand that in Thai language there are two ways to say "definition".

  • กำหนัด == gam-hno(a^)d
  • นิยาม == Ni-yam

If I understand correct, the first one is used to describe how a person defines herself/himself and the second one is used to describe how a person defines someone/something else (i.e. which is not herself/himself).

For example:

  • ฉัน กำหนด ตัวเอง เป็น X
  • เขา นิยาม ฉัน ตัวเอง เป็น Y

Still, I ask, what are the differences between the two words?
