The Vietnamese word "biệt hiệu" is a noun that translates to "pen name" or "alias" in English. It is used to refer to a name that a writer or artist uses instead of their real name, often to create a separate identity for their work.

Usage Instructions:
  • "Biệt hiệu" is typically used in the context of literature, poetry, or art when someone wants to publish work under a different name.
  • It can also be used more broadly to refer to any nickname or alternative name someone might use.
Example:
  • Usage in Literature:
    • "Phan Bội Châu, biệt hiệu Sào Nam, một nhà văn nổi tiếng."
    • (Phan Bội Châu, whose pen name is Sào Nam, is a famous writer.)
Advanced Usage:
