The Vietnamese word "bộc phát" is a verb that means "to explode" or "to break out suddenly." It is used to describe a situation where something happens quickly and unexpectedly, often with a sense of intensity or force.
Emotion: "Cơn giận của anh ấy bộc phát khi nghe tin xấu."
(His anger exploded when he heard the bad news.)
Situation: "Dịch bệnh bộc phát khiến mọi người hoang mang."
(The outbreak of the disease caused panic among people.)
While "bộc phát" primarily refers to sudden and intense occurrences, it can also imply a release of pent-up feelings or energy.
