Clarification markers (สรุปคือ / กล่าวคือ)

Structuring a Presentation

When giving a formal presentation, it is helpful to start with an overview before delving into the data or elaborating on a specific concept.

Clarifying with กล่าวคือ

To clarify a complex point or to define a term, use the discourse marker กล่าวคือ (that is to say). It acts as a bridge between a broad or academic statement and a simpler, more specific explanation.

Summarizing with สรุปคือ

When you are ready to wrap up your thoughts or emphasize the bottom line, use สรุปคือ (in conclusion / to sum up). Place it at the beginning of your sentence to signal that you are distilling your presentation down to its core message.

Staying on Topic

A good speaker focuses on their main points and tries not to digress.
