What does ทีวี mean?

The standard word for television in Thai, borrowed from English. Used in all contexts - from asking to watch TV at home to discussing programs with friends. Can refer to the physical TV set or television programming in general. More common than the formal Thai term โทรทัศน์ (too-rá-tát) in everyday conversation.
