Definition

1. Verb:
   • To have a sudden, sharp pain (like a burn or electric shock): "giật nóng" describes a sudden, brief, and intense sensation of heat or burning pain, often compared to the feeling of being shocked or stung. It is synonymous with "giật lửa" (literally: "to jerk/jolt fire").

Usage Examples

Variants and Related Words
