thành ngữ

a group of words or a phrase that has a meaning different from the literal interpretation of its individual words, often specific to a particular language or culture

What is an "idiom"?

An idiom is a group of words whose meaning cannot be understood by looking at the individual words alone. Idioms often convey a figurative meaning that is culturally specific and may not translate directly into other languages. For example, the idiom "kick the bucket" means "to die", and its literal interpretation does not reflect this meaning. Idioms enrich language by adding color and expressiveness, allowing speakers to convey complex ideas or emotions in a clear way. Understanding idioms is important for effective communication, as they are commonly used in both spoken and written language.

âm tiết

a word or part of a word, which contains a vowel sound and usually one or more consonants

What is a "syllable"?

A syllable is a unit of sound in a word that typically consists of a vowel sound, often accompanied by consonants. It serves as a building block of speech and can vary in length and complexity. A syllable can be simple, containing just a vowel sound like "a," or more complex, including consonants before and after the vowel, as in "cat." Syllables play a crucial role in the rhythm and flow of language, influencing how words are pronounced and understood. Understanding syllables is essential for reading, writing, and phonetics, as they help in word formation and pronunciation.

tiếng lóng

What is "slang"?

Slang is a type of informal language that consists of words, phrases, or expressions that are often specific to a particular group, subculture, or community. Slang terms can change quickly and may not be understood by people outside of the group. It is commonly used in casual conversation and can convey a sense of identity, belonging, or cultural connection among speakers. Slang often reflects current trends, attitudes, and social issues, making it dynamic and adaptable. While it can add flavor and personality to language, slang is typically not used in formal writing or speech.

cường độ

(phonetics) an added force when pronouncing a syllable or word

What is "stress"?

Stress refers to the emphasis placed on certain syllables or words in spoken language, affecting their loudness, pitch, and duration. Stressed syllables are typically pronounced more forcefully than unstressed ones, making them stand out in speech. For example, in the word "photograph," the first syllable "pho" is stressed, while the others are not. Stress is important in language because it can change the meaning of words and phrases, as in "record," which can be a noun or a verb depending on where the stress is placed. Understanding stress patterns is essential for proper pronunciation and effective communication.
