Portable box for cold food/drinks
A box or container with thick walls that people use with ice to keep food and drinks cold when they are outside or traveling.
รูปแบบการใช้:
[someone] puts [food/drinks] in a cooler

คำพ้องความหมาย
ice chest (Very close in meaning; slightly more common in some regional varieties of English.)
คำตรงข้าม
heater (Opposite because it warms things instead of keeping them cold.)

คำพ้องความหมาย
colder (Often feels stronger than 'cooler', suggesting a more uncomfortable or very low temperature.)
คำตรงข้าม
warmer (Describes a higher, more comfortable temperature as the opposite of 'cooler'.)

More calm and controlled
More relaxed and not so angry or excited as another person or as before.
รูปแบบการใช้:
[someone] keeps a cooler head than [someone]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may confuse this meaning with physical temperature. In emotional contexts, 'cooler' describes a more calm, controlled attitude, not lower heat.
คำพ้องความหมาย
calmer (Very close in meaning; 'calmer' does not carry the slight nuance of deliberate self-control that 'cooler' often has.)
คำตรงข้าม
hotter-headed (Describes someone more easily angered or excited, the opposite of a 'cooler' person in this context.)

More fashionable or impressive
Seen as more stylish, interesting, or special than something else.
รูปแบบการใช้:

ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may confuse this social meaning with the temperature meaning. In sentences about style, popularity, or image, 'cooler' usually means 'more fashionable or impressive', not 'less warm'.
คำพ้องความหมาย
trendier (Very similar but focuses more on fashion and trends, while 'cooler' can also include attitude or general appeal.)
คำตรงข้าม
lamer (Informal opposite, suggesting something is less impressive or less socially attractive.)
