What does นิ้ว mean?

Refers to fingers and toes in Thai - the same word covers both. Used when describing body parts, injuries, counting, or pointing. Thai speakers often specify นิ้วมือ (fingers) or นิ้วเท้า (toes) for clarity. Essential for medical situations, nail salons, or when buying gloves and rings.
