The Vietnamese word "lọn" is a noun that generally means a "curl," "ringlet," or "lock" of hair. It refers to a small section or strand of hair that has been curled or twisted in a spiral shape.

Usage Instructions:

• "Lọn" is often used when describing hairstyles or specific curls in someone's hair.
• It is commonly used with the word "tóc" (hair), as in "lọn tóc," to specify that you are talking about a curl of hair.

Example:

• Lọn tóc dài: Long curl of hair
• Cô ấy có một lọn tóc đẹp: She has a beautiful curl of hair.

Advanced Usage:

In more advanced contexts, "lọn" can be used metaphorically to describe something that is spiraled or twisted, not just limited to hair. However, this usage is less common and primarily used in poetry or artistic descriptions.

Word Variants:

• "Lọn" can be combined with other words to create phrases, such as:
  • Lọn bông: A fluffy curl or lock (often used to describe softer, more voluminous curls).
  • Lọn xoăn: Curly lock (specifically referring to curls created by curling irons or natural curls).

Different Meanings:

• While "lọn" primarily refers to hair, it can also be used in a broader context to describe anything that is curled or twisted, but this usage is rare and usually understood through context.

Synonyms:

• Khúc tóc: A section of hair (more general, not necessarily curled).
• Xoăn: Curly (an adjective that describes hair texture but not a specific curl).
