The Vietnamese word "bộ sách" translates to "set of books" in English. It refers to a collection or group of books that are usually related by a common theme, subject, or author.

Usage Instructions:

• You can use "bộ sách" when you want to talk about multiple books that are connected to each other. For example, if there is a series of novels or educational books published together, you would call that a "bộ sách."

Example:

• "Tôi vừa mua một bộ sách về lịch sử Việt Nam." (I just bought a set of books about Vietnamese history.)

Advanced Usage:

• "Bộ sách" can also be used in more specific contexts, such as academic or reference materials. For example, "bộ sách giáo khoa" means "set of textbooks," which is used in schools.

Word Variants:

• Bộ: This means "set" or "collection."
• Sách: This means "book."
• You might also encounter phrases like "bộ truyện" (set of comic books) or "bộ sách tham khảo" (reference books).

Different Meanings:

While "bộ sách" primarily means "set of books," "bộ" can refer to a set of other items or categories, such as "bộ đồ" (set of clothes) or "bộ dụng cụ" (tool set). However, when combined with "sách," it specifically refers to books.

Synonyms:

• Tập sách: This translates to "volume" or "individual book," but it can imply that the book is part of a larger collection.
• Bộ tài liệu: This means "set of documents" and can also refer to a collection, though it typically includes various types of written materials beyond just books.
