Definition
- Adjective (informal, often vulgar):
- To be in heat / to be sexually aroused: A crude term primarily used to describe an animal, especially a female dog, that is in the estrus cycle and seeking to mate. It strongly emphasizes a state of intense, instinctual sexual drive.
- To be horny / to be lustful: When applied to a person (almost always a woman), it is a highly offensive and vulgar term implying she is excessively or overtly sexually desirous.
Usage Examples
- Adjective:
- Con chó cái đó trông có vẻ hăng tiết. (That female dog looks like she's in heat.)
- Cô ta bị gọi là hăng tiết vì cách cư xử của mình. (She was called "hăng tiết" because of her behavior.) [Note: This is a highly derogatory and insulting usage.]
Advanced Usage
- The term is considered much stronger and more vulgar than its synonym "hăng máu". It carries a strong connotation of animalistic, uncontrollable urge.
Variants and Related Words
- Hăng máu (adj): To be in heat; to be lustful. A slightly less vulgar but still very informal synonym.
- Con mèo nhà tôi đang hăng máu. (My cat is in heat.)
Synonyms
- In heat: (for animals) The physiological state of being ready to mate.
- Lustful: Having or showing strong feelings of sexual desire. (Note: "Hăng tiết" is a crude and derogatory equivalent).
Important Note on Usage
- Extreme Caution Required: This word is deeply offensive when used to describe a person. It is a severe insult with strong misogynistic undertones. Its use is confined to very coarse, vulgar speech and should be avoided in polite conversation. The primary, and less offensive, context is in describing animals in a biological state.
