weather vocabulary: từ vựng về thời tiết

note: lưu ý

hot: nóng examples it's so hot : nóng quá

gosh is I'm hot as hell trời ơi nóng vãi

it's really hot today isn't it: hôm nay nóng quá ha

Vãi is a slang that can be added after the adjective

for higher intensity of whatever adjective that you use

and is pretty popular among the young population in Vietnam

the equivalent meaning in English can be: as hell / AF / extremely

air conditioner northern dialect: điều hòa

Southern dialect máy lạnh examples so hot let's turn on the AC

In the north we say: nóng quá, bật điều hòa nhé?

in the south: nóng quá, mở máy lạnh đi?

If you say điều hòa in the South people most likely will still understand

and the south version MÁY LẠNH is literally mean MACHINE COLD

so MÁY is machine and Lạnh is cold

this is a very *common way to make combined-nouns in Viet Vietnamese

Sunny: Nắng

example

let's go out it's good sunny weather today

Đi chơi đi hôm nay trời nắng đẹp nè

don't go outside at noon when the sun is blazing, wait until the evening when it's cooler

Giữa trưa nắng chang chang đừng có đi ra đường

đợi chiều tối mát mát rồi đi đâu thì đi

this sounds very much like what Vietnamese moms would say or at least my mom

so the sentence structure here we can see that if you want to suggest somebody to go do something or uh to go do something together

you can say the the VERB and add the word ĐI the at the end so some examples

go study it will be HỌC BÀI ĐI

go work it would be LÀM VIỆC ĐI

go sleep it would be NGỦ ĐI or ĐI NGỦ ĐI

let's go out together as the example earlier

ĐI CHƠI ĐI let's go have fun together/ let's go play together/ let's go out together

sweat MỒ HÔI

example I'm sweating so much it wet my shirt

ĐỔ MỒ HÔI ƯỚT HẾT CẢ ÁO

and this word is funny because when broken down

MỒ means grave

HÔI mean stinky or foul

and MỒ HÔI just mean magically sweat
