  • Collocation là gì?

    Collocation là gì?

    I. Collocation là gì?

    • Collocations là sự kết hợp các từ theo tập quán, qui ước (conventional word combinations), hay gọi cách khác là sự kết hợp từ tự nhiên.
    • Chúng ta có thể nói “a heavy smoker” (một người nghiện thuốc lá nặng) hoặc “a devoted friend” (một bằng hữu tận tụy) nhưng không thể nói, “a devoted smoker” hoặc “a heavy friend”. Theo ngữ nghĩa thì những cách dùng từ như trên cũng được xem là những cấu trúc đặc biệt của Anh ngữ.
    • Cách kết hợp từ theo quy ước như trên trong Anh ngữ gọi là collocations và bất cứ ngôn ngữ nào cũng có một số rất lớn những collocations này.

    II. Có những loại collocation nào?

    1.  Adjectives and Nouns

         Chúng ta cần chú ý đến các tính từ được sử dụng với những danh từ cụ thể.

         E.g.

    • We had a brief chat about the exams but didn’t have time to discuss them properly. (Tụi tôi có một cuộc nói chuyện phiếm ngắn ngủi về những kì thi, nhưng không có thì giờ thảo luận chúng đúng mực)
    • Unemployment is a major problem for the government at the moment. (Thất nghiệp là vấn đề chính yếu đối với chính phủ ngay thời điểm này)

    2. Nouns and Verbs

         Ta hãy để ý cách kết hợp danh từ và động từ trong câu. Tất cả các ví dụ sau đây đều liên quan đến kinh tế học và thương mại.

    E.g.

    • The economy boomed in the 1990s. (Nền kinh kế này rất mạnh vào thập niên 90)
    • The company has grown and now employs 50 more people than last year. (Công ty phát triển và giờ thì có thể tuyển dụng nhiều hơn 50 công nhân so với năm rồi)
    • The price increase poses a problem for us. (is a problem) (Sự tăng giá thành là một khó khăn cho chúng ta)

    3. Noun + Noun

         Có rất nhiều sự kết hợp tự nhiên dựa trên mẫu: a … of …

         Eg:

    • As Sam read the lies about him, he felt a surge of anger. (nói một cách văn chương: a sudden angry feeling) (Khi Sam đọc được những lời nói láo về nó, nó bỗng nổi cơn giận dữ)
    • Every parent feels a sense of pride when their child does well or wins something. (Bất cứ bậc làm cha mẹ nào cũng có niềm tự hào khi con em họ làm tốt hay thắng được cái gì)

    4. Verbs and Expressions with Prepositions

         Một số động từ liên kết với đặc ngữ (gồm giới từ + danh từ) cụ thể để tạo sự kết hợp tự nhiên.

         Eg:

    • As Jack went on stage to receive his gold medal for the judo competition you could see his parents swelling with pride. (looking extremely proud)
    •      (Khi Jack tiến lên sân khấu nhận huy chương vàng trong cuộc đấu Nhu đạo, anh có thể thấy ba má nó tràn trề kiêu hãnh)
    •      I was filled with horror when I read the newspaper report of the explosion.
    •      (Tôi thấy kinh sợ khi đọc mẩu tin báo về vụ nổ)
    •      When she spilt juice on her new skirt the little girt burst into tears. (suddenly started crying)
    •      (Khi làm đổ nước trái cây lên cái đầm mới, đứa bé gái òa khóc)

    5. Verbs and Adverbs

         She pulled steadily on the rope and helped him to safety. (pulled firmly and evenly)

        Eg:

    • (Nàng nắm chặt không buông sợi dây thừng để cứu chàng đến nơi an toàn)
    •      He placed the beautiful vase gently on the window ledge.
    •      (Anh ấy đặt nhẹ nhàng cái bình hoa đẹp trên cái tủ dưới cửa sổ)
    •      “I love you and want to marry you,” Derek whispered softly to Marsha.
    •      (“Ta yêu nàng và muốn cưới nàng làm vợ,” Derek thì thầm nhẹ nhàng vào tai Marsha)
    •      She smiled proudly as she looked at the photos of her new grandson.
    •      (Bà ta mỉm cười hãnh diện khi ngắm nhìn những tấm hình chụp thằng cháu mới ra đời)

    6. Adverbs and Adjectives

    •      They are happily married.
    •      (Họ kết hôn (và chung sống) trong hạnh phúc)
    •      I am fully aware that there are serious problems. (I know well)
    •      (Tôi biết rõ rằng đang có những vấn đề nghiêm trọng)
    •      Harry was blissfully unaware that he was in danger. (Harry had no idea at all)
    •      (Harry hoàn toàn không nhận thức được rằng anh ấy đang gặp nguy hiểm)

    Today we hear more and more about the importance of getting enough sleep. Sleep can giveenergy to both our bodies and our brains. It can also affect our feelings, behaviour, and memory.
    Studies have shown that people in some countries spend less time sleeping and more time working.But our bodies cannot work well without enough sleep. Losing just one or two hours of sleep a night,over a long period of time, can badly affect our health. We cannot work for many hours; we can getangry easily; and we can even lose our IQ points. That explains why, without enough sleep, an intelligent person may have difficulty doing daily tasks.
    Studies have also shown that the time of year seems to affect how much sleep we need. Peopleusually sleep longer in the winter, sometimes as much as 14 hours a night. However, in the summer, they sometimes sleep as little as six hours, without having any problems.

    As the Internet has become more and more popular, we may be reading a great deal more than weused to. However, the way we are reading materials on the Internet, or online reading, is very differentfrom the way we traditionally read printed materials.
    In the traditional way of reading, we would start at the beginning of a book and read through to theend. In online reading, in contrast, we start reading a page, but may never finish it because a link onthat page leads us to a passage on a different page, and so on. As we go from one page to another, wehave to remember lots of different ideas at the same time. This new way of reading is quite differentfrom the traditional one.
    There are both advantages and disadvantages of online reading. In online reading, the brain getsbetter than ever at doing many tasks at the same time, or multitasking; and thanks to this, we can workquickly and think creatively. Multitasking is useful in certain working environments, but it also makesit more difficult for us to read at a deep level. We are, therefore, much less likely to analyse what weread in a critical way, or gain any real insight into the contents we are reading. This might lead to afuture when a whole new generation lacks the ability to think critically and deeply about what they arereading.
    The world is changing and our brains are probably changing to meet new demands in the modernworld, just as they have always done throughout history. However, it is important for US to considerhow to maintain our critical, deeper reading skills, while still dealing with online reading materials.

    1. Disadvantages of being a working mother.

    Mothers should be strongly discouraged from working outside the home. First, women have traditional roles as housewives and housekeepers. They should stay home, doing housework and looking after their husbands and children. In extended families where more than two generations live together, women are also the main care­givers for elderly people. Secondly, working mothers do not have enough time. Men’s work finish at the office, but women’s work is extended to their households. After an eight-hour working day, these exhausted women have to do household chores, take care of their husbands and children without having time to relax. Finally, working mothers can not be good workers. Tiring and boring chores at home negatively affect women’s tasks in their working place. They can not concentrate or work effectively as those who do not have to worry about taking kids to school, picking them up after school and doing housework. Clearly, mothers should not be encouraged to work outside the home.

    2. Typical characteristics of Vietnamese people.

    A typical Vietnamese person is hard-working, skillful, and devoted to the family. The most prominent characteristic of most Vietnamese is that they work really hard. In fact, in addition to the eight working hours at a job, they still spend time on different household chores. Moreover, Vietnamese people are also well-known for many skills. Both men and women can cook tasty meals and decorate the house. A visit to the family in Viet Nam will be a good chance to experience how good they are at all these tasks. Finally, Vietnamese are really devoted to the family. Their biggest concerns are always about family matters like jobs, hobbies, and health of all family members. That is why the majority of Vietnamese people immediately rush home after work to be with their children and take care of them and the other people in the family. In short, these characteristics are typical of the majority of Vietnamese people.

    VI. Read the passage, and do the tasks that follow

    Not only does Linda Greenlaw do one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, but she also does it extremely well. She has been described as “one of the best captains on the entire East coast” and that, in one of the leading countries in fishing industry, is praise indeed.

    Linda was born and brought up on Isle au Haut, a tiny island ten kilometers off the coast of Maine, USA. She fell in love with fishing as a child, and she worked on fishing boats during her summer break from college.

    Her first opportunity to go on a deep-sea fishing trip came when she was nineteen. Alden Leeman, a man she’d never met before hired her for thirty days on his sword fishing boat. The trip was a success and eventually Alden offered Linda her first boat to captain in 1986, which probably made her the only woman ever to captain a sword fishing boat.

    So, why did she take up sword fishing in the first place? Linda says that not only does she like the way she feels on a boat, but she also gets passionate about catching a fish. More than anything she’s proud of being a fisherman, even more so than she is of being a best-selling author.

    Linda has published four books to date, the first of which, The Hungry Ocean, was top of the New York bestseller list for three months. In it, Linda tells the story of one fishing trip and narrates the adventures she experienced on board with her five- man crew, including bad weather, sickness, mechanical problems and, of course, the fish.

    But the world of fish and fishing is a man’s world and it’s not easy to find a word to describe Linda Greenlaw. In her own words, she says: “I am a woman. I am a fisherman not “a fisherwoman”, “fisherlady” or “fishergirl”.

    Choose the best answer for each question:

    Question 1: Linda is………….

    A. American B. British C. Canadian D. Hungarian

    Question 2: Linda took up sword fishing because ………….

    A. she fell in love with a fisherman. B. she loves boats and catching fish.

    C. all her family are fishermen. D. she needed to earn some money.

    Question 3: Linda prefers to be described as a………….

    A. a fisherlady B. a fisherman C. a fisherwoman D. a fishergirl

    Answer the questions:

    Question 4.How old was she when her first opportunity to go on a deep-sea fishing trip came?

    ……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    Question 5. How many people were there on the fishing trip in The Hungry Ocean?

Unfortunately, at the current time, 1 in 5 women and girls between the ages of 15-49 have reported experiencing physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month period and 49 countries currently have no laws protecting women from domestic violence. Progress is occurring regarding harmful practices such as child marriage and FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), which has declined by 30% in the past decade, but there is still much work to be done to complete eliminate such practices.

    Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. Implementing new legal frameworks regarding female equality in the workplace and the eradication of harmful practices targeted at women is crucial to ending the gender-based discrimination prevalent in many countries around the world.

    Finding Innovative Applications of Technology

      While technology, in and of itself, does not always spur innovation in the classroom, there are countless innovative ways to use technology to better teach and engage students. Here are some examples:

      Robots in the Classroom – South Korean schools have experimented with robot teachers. This makes lessons more interesting and entertaining for kids and enables teachers from anywhere in the world to be “present” in the classroom.

      Mobile Technology – Smartphones and other mobile devices are increasingly used in education. Mobile apps let teachers conduct digital polls, enhance verbal and presentation skills, and incorporate technological skills with core competency lessons.

      3D Learning – Kids enjoy 3D games and movies, so why not use this technology to help them learn? GEMS Modern Academy in Dubai does just this, providing students with a 3D lab that offers interactive multimedia presentations.

      Assisting Special Needs Students – Assistive technology is especially useful for students with learning disabilities. For example, phonetic spelling software helps dyslexic students and others with reading problems to convert words to the correct spelling.

    Questions:

    1. Are there robot teachers in South Korea? YES.

    During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large number of reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system,ban

    the sale of alcohol, and, most importantly, to free the slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady, Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips, also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in anti-slavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and the conditions of others.

    When the Civil War ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869 the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than before. A women’s suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress since 1878, but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the rights to vote.

    Question 14: What is the main idea of the passage ?

    A. Abolitionists B. The Wyoming Territory

    C. Women’s suffrage D. The Foundation and 15th Amendments

    Question 15: The word “ban” in paragraph 1 refers to _______.

    A. publish B. prohibit C. promote D. encourage

    Question 16: According to the passage, why did women became involved primarily in politics?

    A. To support Elizabeth Cady Stanton for president.

    B. To be selected to public office.

    C. To amend the Declaration of Independence.

    D. To improve the conditions of life that existed at the time.

Students can carry these devices with them wherever they want and whenever they like.

    Mobile learning is motivating. Students are more excited and inspired to study when they work with different types of apps. These apps not only help them understand the materials better but also motivate them to study harder both in and out of the classroom. Motivation and inspiration can lead to good results, and good results can lead to more motivation and inspiration.

    150 từ và cụm từ tiếng Nga cơ bản

    150 từ và cụm từ tiếng Nga cơ bản dưới đây chắc chắn sẽ hữu ích cho hầu hết mọi người, nhưng hãy nhớ mục tiêu học tiếng Nga của bạn là gì.

    Nếu học tiếng Nga để đi du lịch, có lẽ bạn chỉ cần hỏi đường , mua vé tàu và biết cách nhận phòng khách sạn.

    Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn học tiếng Nga phục vụ cho công việc làm ăn kinh doanh và cần thống nhất về thời gian họp, bạn sẽ cần phải học tiếng Nga một cách nghiêm túc với hàng loạt các vấn đề cần lưu ý.

    Bất kể mục đích học tiếng Nga của bạn là gì, một điều cần ghi nhớ là lựa chọn sử dụng tiếng Nga trang trọng hay thân mật trong từng tình huống. Tương tự như tiếng Pháp hoặc tiếng Tây Ban Nha, tiếng Nga sử dụng hai phiên bản của từ “bạn”.

    150 từ và cụm từ tiếng Nga cơ bản 2

    Ты (bạn) được sử dụng trong các tình huống thân mật khi nói chuyện với một cá nhân. Вы (bạn) được sử dụng trong hai trường hợp khi nói với hai người trở lên (số nhiều) và khi nói với một cá nhân theo cách trang trọng. Điều này khác với tiếng Anh, bạn sử dụng chung từ You cho cả số ít và số nhiều, cả trang trọng và thân mật.

    Theo nguyên tắc chung, ты thực sự chỉ nên được sử dụng khi xưng hô với trẻ em hoặc bạn thân. Các câu nói trang trọng nên được sử dụng bất cứ khi nào bạn đang nói chuyện với người lạ, người mà bạn không biết rõ, bất kỳ ai lớn tuổi hơn bạn hoặc người nào đó có chức vụ quyền hạn.

    Do đó, trừ trường hợp có ngữ cảnh cụ thể, tất cả 150 từ và cụm từ tiếng Nga cơ bản dưới đây đều sử dụng cách nói ở dạng Вы.

    Bạn có thể tham khảo thêm 1000 từ tiếng Nga thông dụng nhất!

    Chào hỏi bằng tiếng Nga

    150 từ và cụm từ tiếng Nga cơ bản

    Đương nhiên, một trong những điều đầu tiên mà bất kỳ người học ngôn ngữ nào cũng nên nắm bắt là khả năng chào hỏi những người khác. Cho dù bạn đang gặp giáo viên tiếng Nga mới của mình khi đi du học ở Moscow, mua vé đến Nhà hát Bolshoi hay nhờ một người lạ hỗ trợ, bạn cần có khả năng chào hỏi ai đó và chào tạm biệt một cách thích hợp.

    Привет – Xin chào. Đây là cách thân mật và thường chỉ được sử dụng khi chào hỏi ai đó mà bạn đã biết rõ.

    Здравствуйте – Xin chào. Здравствуйте là phiên bản chính thức của Привет và là phiên bản bạn nên sử dụng rộng rãi nhất.

    150 từ và cụm từ tiếng Nga cơ bản 3

    Добро пожаловать – Chào mừng. Bạn có thể sẽ nghe thấy điều này khi bước vào nhà của ai đó, lớp học, v.v. Nó có thể được sử dụng chính thức hoặc không chính thức.

    Доброе утро – Chào buổi sáng (Có thể nói bất cứ lúc nào từ bình minh đến trưa).

    Добрый день – Chào ngày mới / Chào buổi chiều (Được sử dụng từ sáng muộn cho đến khi mặt trời lặn).

    Добрый вечер – Chào buổi tối (Được sử dụng vào buổi tối, nhưng không phải sau bữa tối).

    Пока – Tạm biệt. Пока được sử dụng không chính thức và là từ ngược lại của của Привет.

    До свидания – Tạm biệt. Mong đợi để nghe điều này ở khắp mọi nơi vì đó là cách nói lời tạm biệt phổ biến nhất.

    До скорого – Hẹn gặp lại các bạn. Hãy chắc chắn học до скорого vì bạn sẽ sử dụng nó với những người bạn gặp nhiều lần và biết rằng bạn sẽ gặp lại sau vài ngày hoặc vài giờ. Nó truyền đạt một cảm giác thân thuộc.

    Спокойной ночи – Chúc ngủ ngon. Hãy nhớ rằng đây là cách chúc ai đó ngủ ngon trước khi đi ngủ. Thật tốt khi biết cụm từ này trong trường hợp bạn đang ở trong ký túc xá hoặc với một gia đình bản xứ. Điều này thường không được sử dụng bên ngoài gia đình, vì vậy có thể mất một thời gian trước khi bạn nghe thấy nó, nhưng nó vẫn hữu ích nếu có trong kho vũ khí của bạn.

    Giới thiệu bản thân bằng tiếng Nga

    Người Nga thích nói chuyện với người nước ngoài. Họ có thể không bắt chuyện với bạn, nhưng nếu có cơ hội, bạn có thể kết bạn trong một thời gian ngắn. Trong trường hợp đó, bạn hãy chuẩn bị để giới thiệu và hỏi một số thông tin chung về bản thân.

    Как Вас зовут? – Tên của bạn là gì?

    150 từ và cụm từ tiếng Nga cơ bản 4

    Hãy ghi nhớ câu hỏi này vì bạn sẽ được hỏi nó thường xuyên. Cũng nên nhớ rằng đây là một cách chính thức để hỏi điều này vì nó sử dụng phiên bản chính thức của Вы. Nếu bạn hỏi một người bạn cùng trường hoặc một đứa trẻ câu hỏi này, bạn sẽ sử dụng phiên bản thân mật: Как тебя зовут?

    Меня зовут… – Tên tôi là… Đây là cách chính thức để trả lời câu hỏi Как Вас зовут?

    Я… – Tôi là… Đây là một cách thông thường hơn để trả lời “Tên của bạn là gì?”

    Очень приятно – Rất vui được gặp bạn (Có thể được sử dụng trong các tình huống trang trọng hoặc thông thường)

    Приятно с Вами познакомиться – Rất vui được gặp bạn (Hơi trang trọng hơn Очень приятно.)

    Как дела? – Mọi chuyện thế nào? Không giống như người Mỹ có xu hướng hỏi bất kỳ người lạ xem họ đang làm gì để chào hỏi ai đó, người Nga thường không làm điều này. Bạn có thể chấp nhận hỏi bạn bè hoặc người quen xem họ như thế nào, nhưng tránh hỏi nhân viên cửa hàng hoặc bất kỳ ai bạn đã gặp một lần và không bao giờ mong đợi tiếp xúc với một lần nữa.

    Как ты? – Bạn khỏe không? Đây là một sự thay thế thông thường cho Как дела ?, do đó nên sử dụng ты.

    Вы долго в России? – Bạn ở nước Nga lâu chưa? Khi biết bạn đang đến thăm Nga, hãy mong đợi được hỏi bạn đã ở đó lâu chưa. Bạn cũng có thể sẽ được hỏi bạn đang làm gì ở đó và bạn đang tận hưởng kỳ nghỉ của mình như thế nào.

    Вам нравится Россия? – Bạn có thích nước Nga không? Không cần phải nói, câu trả lời phải luôn luôn rõ ràng là “а!” (Vâng). Bạn có thể sẽ được hỏi câu hỏi này thường xuyên. Mặc dù người Nga có thể chỉ trích đất nước của họ, nhưng tốt nhất là bạn không nên như vậy.

    Giới thiệu quê quán, nghề nghiệp và sở thích

    Tiếp tục cuộc trò chuyện từ trên, sẽ rất hữu ích nếu bạn có thể giải thích bạn đến từ đâu và bạn làm gì để kiếm sống vì đây là hai câu hỏi phổ biến nhất của người nước ngoài.

    Откуда Вы? – Bạn đến từ đâu?

    Я из X – Tôi đến từ X. Hãy cho bất kỳ ai hỏi bạn đến từ quốc gia nào trước khi đi vào chi tiết cụ thể hơn.

    Я из Америки – Tôi đến từ Mỹ.

    Я из США – Tôi đến từ Hoa Kỳ

    Из какого Вы штата? – Bạn đến từ bang nào? Nhiều người Nga sẽ không thể xác định bạn đến từ quốc gia nói tiếng Anh nào dựa trên tên tiểu bang hoặc thành phố. Những người Nga hay đi du lịch có thể hỏi thêm thông tin, trong trường hợp đó, hãy nhớ học cách trả lời đúng bằng cách điền vào câu với tiểu bang và / hoặc thị trấn quê hương của bạn.

    Я из Техаса – Tôi đến từ Texas

    Я из Калифорнии. – Tôi đến từ California

    Я из Нью-Йорка – Tôi đến từ New York

    Вы студент / студентка? – Bạn có phải là học sinh [nam] / [nữ] không?

    Вы кем работаете? – Bạn làm gì cho công việc?

    Какая у Вас профессия? – Bạn làm nghề gì? (Một sự thay thế cho câu hỏi ở trên.)

    Я… – Tôi làm… Điều này tương tự như cách bạn có thể trả lời câu hỏi “tên của bạn là gì?” Nhưng thay vì theo sau Я với tên của bạn, hãy nêu nghề nghiệp của bạn.

    Я преподаватель – Tôi là một giáo viên (Tôi làm giáo viên).

    • врач – bác sĩ
    • адвокат – luật sư
    • менеджер гостиницы – quản lý khách sạn

    Есть ли у Вас хобби? – Bạn có sở thích nào không? Người Nga thích hỏi câu hỏi này, vì vậy hãy chuẩn bị sẵn sàng.

    Да. Я катаюсь на лыжах – Có. Tôi trượt tuyết

    Я играю в баскетбол – Tôi chơi bóng rổ

    Я люблю путешествовать – Tôi thích đi du lịch

    Hỏi về khả năng ngôn ngữ và kiểm tra lại thông tin

    Nhiều khả năng một lúc nào đó bạn sẽ được hỏi liệu bạn có nói được tiếng Nga hay không. Nếu bạn bắt đầu nói một cách nhanh chóng và không do dự, sẽ không ai đặt câu hỏi về khả năng của bạn. Nếu bạn gặp khó khăn, người nói chuyện với bạn sẽ cố gắng đánh giá mức độ thoải mái của bạn và xác định cách hỗ trợ bạn bằng các cụm từ và câu hỏi sau.

    • Вы говорите по-русски? – Bạn có nói tiếng Nga không?
    • Вы говорите по-английски? – Bạn có nói tiếng Anh không?
    • Вы понимаете? – Bạn hiểu không?
    • Я не понимаю – Tôi không hiểu
    • Вы можете говорить медленнее? – Bạn có thể nói chậm được không?
    • Помедленнее, пожалуйста – Vui lòng nói chậm hơn
    • Повторите, пожалуйста – Vui lòng lặp lại điều đó
    • Как сказать… по-русски? – Bạn nói… bằng tiếng Nga như thế nào? Đây là một cụm từ rất hữu ích và một trong những người học tiếng Nga nên biết vì nó giúp tăng vốn từ vựng của bạn. Bạn có thể sử dụng một từ tiếng Anh để điền vào chỗ trống hoặc chỉ vào một đồ vật khi hỏi câu hỏi này.

    Đồng ý, phản đối trong tiếng Nga

    Những từ và cụm từ này có thể bạn sẽ được nghe nhiều lần trong ngày.

    • Да – vâng, đúng (bằng với Yes)
    • Нет – không (bằng với No)
    • Может быть – có thể
    • Что это? – Đó là gì?
    • Кто это? – Đó là ai?
    • Я не знаю – Tôi không biết
    • Это… – Đó là…

    Cảm ơn và xin lỗi trong tiếng Nga

    150 từ và cụm từ tiếng Nga cơ bản 5

    Người Nga thường bị coi là không thân thiện và không lịch sự như điều phổ biến ở một số nền văn hóa. Nhưng cách cư xử tốt sẽ được đánh giá cao, đặc biệt nếu bạn đang nhờ ai đó giúp đỡ.

    • Пожалуйста – Vui lòng
    • Спасибо – Xin cảm ơn
    • Спасибо большое – Xin chân thành cảm ơn. Đừng cảm thấy cần phải tỏ ra lịch thiệp quá mức như người Nga hiếm khi xảy ra, nhưng việc nhấn mạnh lời cảm ơn của bạn được đánh giá cao khi có hiệu lực.
    • Пожалуйста – Không có chi. Vâng, Пожалуйста có hai nghĩa. Tuy nhiên, sẽ dễ dàng nhận ra mục đích của nó, và tốt hơn nữa, bạn chỉ cần một từ để bao hàm hai yếu tố cần thiết!
    • Извините – Tôi xin lỗi. Извините và Простите có thể được sử dụng thay thế cho nhau. Извините được sử dụng rộng rãi, vì vậy ban đầu bạn cứ thoải mái tập trung vào cái đó.
    • Простите – Xin lỗi
    • Всё в порядке -Mọi thứ đều ổn. Cụm từ này được dùng để đáp lại Извините và Простите.
    • Н не могу… – Tôi không thể… Đây là một câu khác mà bạn có thể điền vào tùy theo nhu cầu của bạn. Điều này đặc biệt quan trọng đối với những người có chế độ ăn kiêng hoặc hạn chế. Ví dụ: bạn có thể nói Я не могу есть мясо (Tôi không thể ăn thịt) khi là một người ăn chay hoặc Я не могу пить алкоголь (Tôi không thể uống rượu), điều này đặc biệt quan trọng cần nêu rõ hơn là muộn hơn so với văn hóa Nga xung quanh việc uống rượu.

    Đồ ăn thức uống trong tiếng Nga
