This time, we will learn how to express causes and reasons in Vietnamese.<\/p>\n
In Vietnamese, “v\u00ec”<\/strong> means “because of” \/ “therefore” \/ “due to”<\/strong> in English and is used to indicate a cause or reason. “N\u00ean”<\/strong> changes meaning depending on the context. When giving advice, “n\u00ean”<\/strong> means “should”<\/strong>, but in sentences containing “v\u00ec”<\/strong>, it expresses the result<\/strong> of a cause.<\/p>\n Basic Sentence Structure<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Example Sentences:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2460 V\u00ec<\/span><\/strong> tr\u1eddi m\u01b0a n\u00ean<\/span><\/strong> ch\u00fang t\u00f4i \u1edf nh\u00e0. \u2461 V\u00ec<\/span> <\/strong>m\u1eb9 b\u1ecb \u1ed1m n\u00ean<\/span> <\/strong>anh \u1ea5y r\u1ea5t bu\u1ed3n. \u2462 V\u00ec<\/span> <\/strong>\u0111\u01b0\u1eddng \u0111\u00f4ng n\u00ean<\/span><\/strong> t\u00f4i \u0111\u00e3 \u0111\u1ebfn mu\u1ed9n 10 ph\u00fat.
