Definition

1. Noun:
   • Right bank (of a river): "Hữu ngạn" refers to the bank of a river that is on the right side when facing downstream (i.e., in the direction the water flows). This is a fixed geographical term.

Usage Examples

• Noun:
  • Hữu ngạn sông Hồng đã được củng cố đê điều. (The right bank of the Red River has been reinforced with dikes.)
  • Thành phố nằm bên hữu ngạn của dòng sông. (The city is located on the right bank of the river.)
  • Khi nhìn xuôi dòng, hữu ngạn là bờ bên tay phải của bạn. (When looking downstream, the right bank is the shore on your right-hand side.)

Advanced Usage

• This term is primarily used in formal, geographical, historical, or administrative contexts to specify location relative to a river's flow.
• It is often used in contrast with "tả ngạn" (left bank).

Variants and Related Words

• Tả ngạn (n): Left bank (of a river). The opposite of "hữu ngạn".
• Bờ sông (n): River bank (general term, not specifying side).

Synonyms

• Bờ phải (n): Right bank (a more general descriptive phrase, less technical than "hữu ngạn").

Notes on Meaning
