Notes
- "Gòn gọn" is a reduplicative word (từ láy) derived from the root "gọn." Reduplicative forms in Vietnamese often intensify or add a nuanced, sometimes more colloquial, feeling to the root word's meaning. In this case, "gòn gọn" emphasizes a state of being thoroughly neat and completely settled.
- It is less common in formal writing than its root "gọn" or the compound "gọn gàng." It is often used in spoken Vietnamese or descriptive prose.
