The Vietnamese word "hê" is a slang term that means to throw or fling something away, often in a fit of anger or frustration. It is an informal expression, so you would mainly hear it in casual conversations among friends or family rather than in formal settings.

Usage Instructions:

• "Hê" is often used when someone is expressing strong emotions, especially anger or annoyance.
• It can be applied to various objects, but it is commonly used in situations where food or items are thrown away carelessly.

Example:

• "Cô ấy hê đĩa thức ăn vì tức giận."
  • (She threw the plate of food away in anger.)

Advanced Usage:

• You might hear "hê" used metaphorically to describe throwing away opportunities or feelings. For instance, if someone gives up on a chance because they are upset, they might say they "hê" that chance.

Word Variants:

• "Hê" can be used in different tenses or forms depending on the context, but it primarily remains as "hê" when expressing the action of throwing away.
• Related verbs like "ném" (to throw) may be used in more formal contexts.

Different Meanings:

• While "hê" primarily means to throw away in anger, it can also imply a sense of carelessness or disregard for something.

Synonyms:

• "ném" (to throw) - more formal and can be used in any context without the emotional connotation.
• "vất" (to toss or discard) - similar to "hê," but can also be used in a neutral context.
