Notes
- "Mang sang" is a compound verb specific to professional terminology. The general verb "mang" means "to carry" or "to bring," but "mang sang" as a fixed phrase has this specialized meaning in accounting.
- Do not confuse with the separate, more literal phrase "mang (cái gì) sang (đâu)" (e.g., to bring something over to a place), which is a general description of physical movement.
