- Very rough, extremely coarse: Describes a surface or texture that is not smooth at all; having a harsh, abrasive feel. This word emphasizes a high degree of roughness.
Usage
- This word is primarily used to describe the physical texture of an object's surface.
- It is a dialectal word (địa phương), meaning it is commonly used in specific regional dialects of Vietnamese and may sound informal or local to speakers from other regions.
- It is typically used in descriptive contexts, often for tangible objects.
Usage Examples
- Adjective:

Advanced Usage / Nuances
- The word "sì" acts as an intensifier, similar to "very" or "extremely" in English, combined with "nhám" (rough). Therefore, "nhám sì" is stronger than just "nhám".
- It can sometimes be used metaphorically to describe something unrefined or harsh in character, though this is less common than its literal use for texture.
