The Vietnamese word "cháu nội" refers to the child of one's son, which means it specifically indicates a paternal grandchild. In simpler terms, "cháu nội" is used to talk about a boy or girl who is the son or daughter of your son.

Usage Instructions:

• "Cháu nội" is typically used in formal or family contexts when referring to your son’s children.
• It can be used when talking to family members or in conversations about family lineage.

Example:

1. Simple Sentence: "Cháu nội của tôi rất thông minh."
   (Translation: "My grandson is very smart.")

2. Conversation Example:

   • A: "Bạn có mấy cháu nội?" (Translation: "How many grandsons do you have?")
   • B: "Tôi có hai cháu nội." (Translation: "I have two grandsons.")

Advanced Usage:

• In Vietnamese culture, family relationships are very important, so "cháu nội" may be used in discussions about family heritage or during family gatherings.
• You might also hear "cháu nội" used in the context of family traditions, inheritance, or responsibilities passed down through generations.

Word Variants:

• The female counterpart is "cháu ngoại," which refers to the child of one's daughter (maternal grandchild).
• "Cháu" can also refer to a younger person in a more general sense, including nieces and nephews, but when paired with "nội," it specifically means paternal grandchildren.

Different Meanings:

• "Cháu" alone can mean "child" or "nephew/niece," but when combined with "nội," it specifies the relationship to a son’s child only.
