Definition

1. Adjective:
   • Particular; isolated; exceptional: Refers to something that is separate, individual, or distinct from the general or common case. It describes a phenomenon, instance, or characteristic that is unique, singular, or not typical.
   • Uncommon; not widespread: Describes something that occurs rarely or is an exception to the rule, and is therefore not representative of a broader pattern.

Usage Examples

• Adjective:
  • Đây là một hiện tượng cá biệt. (This is a particular / isolated phenomenon.)
  • Đó chỉ là một trường hợp cá biệt. (That is just an exceptional / isolated case.)
  • Cậu ấy là một học sinh cá biệt. (He is a student with unique challenges / an exceptional student [often implying atypical behavior].)

Advanced Usage

• The term often carries a neutral or slightly negative connotation when describing a deviation from a norm, such as in administrative or educational contexts (e.g., a is often a student with behavioral issues distinct from the class).
• It can be used to emphasize the singularity of an event, absolving it from being considered a precedent.

Variants and Related Words

  • Hãy để những vấn đề này riêng biệt ra. (Keep these issues separate.)

Synonyms
