The Vietnamese word "dây cương" is a noun that translates to "bridle" in English. A bridle is a piece of equipment used to control a horse. It consists of straps that go around the horse's head, with a bit that goes into the horse's mouth to help the rider steer and guide the horse.
In more advanced discussions, "dây cương" can also refer metaphorically to control or guidance in various contexts, such as leadership or management. For example: - "Người lãnh đạo cần phải có dây cương vững chắc để dẫn dắt đội ngũ." (A leader needs to have a strong bridle to guide the team.)
While "dây cương" primarily refers to a bridle, in some contexts, it can imply authority or control over something, similar to how a bridle controls a horse.
