Advanced Usage

• "bìu dái": A more specific and common compound term for "scrotum". While 'bìu' alone can mean scrotum, 'bìu dái' is unambiguous.

Variants and Related Words

• Bướu cổ (n): Goiter (the more common modern term for the neck swelling).

Notes on Usage

• In contemporary Vietnamese, when referring to the anatomical part, the compound "bìu dái" is far more frequent and precise than using "bìu" alone.
• The meaning of "goiter" for "bìu" is now considered archaic or dialectal. The standard term is "bướu cổ".
• This word is a scientific/medical term and is used in formal or clinical contexts.
