1
inside a body or object
Happening inside a body or thing, not on the outside.
รูปแบบการใช้:
[something] happens internally
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes use "internally" when they just mean "inside" a room or building (e.g., *"I will stay internally"*). Use "indoors" or "inside" for locations in a house or building, and "internally" mainly for inside bodies, objects, systems, or organizations.
คำพ้องความหมาย
inside (More general and often used with movement or position; less specific about medical or mechanical contexts.)
|
within (More formal; often used in written or technical descriptions of processes inside an object or system.)
คำตรงข้าม
externally (Describes something happening on the outside of a body or object.)
|
outside (General everyday opposite, usually about location on or beyond the outer surface.)

within one organization or country
Happening inside one company, group, or country, without help from outside.

to handle [something] internally
