Definition

1. Adjective (Reduplicative form):
   • Hurried and flustered; in a hasty and careless manner: This is the reduplicative form of "hấp tấp," used to emphasize a state of rushed, impatient, and often clumsy action due to a lack of calmness or thoroughness. It describes acting with undue haste, leading to disorder or mistakes.

Usage Examples

• Adjective:
  • Anh ấy làm việc gì cũng hấp ta hấp tấp, nên hay mắc lỗi. (He does everything in a hurried and flustered manner, so he often makes mistakes.)
  • Đừng hấp ta hấp tấp như vậy, hãy bình tĩnh và suy nghĩ kỹ. (Don't be so hasty and careless like that; be calm and think carefully.)

Advanced Usage

• This form is primarily used in spoken Vietnamese for added descriptive emphasis. The core meaning is identical to "hấp tấp," but the reduplication intensifies the imagery of frantic, disordered haste.

Variants and Related Words

• Hấp tấp (Adj): Hasty, rash, impetuous.
  • Tính hấp tấp của cô ấy thường gây ra sự cố. (Her hasty nature often causes incidents.)

Synonyms

• Hasty: Acting with excessive speed or urgency.
• Rash: Acting without careful consideration.
• Impetuous: Acting suddenly with force or passion, without thought.
• Careless: Not giving sufficient attention to avoiding harm or errors.
