Notes on Usage
- Specificity: The word "nhân nhẩn" is almost exclusively used to describe physical sensations, particularly pain or bodily discomfort. It is not typically used for emotional states.
- Nuance: It emphasizes not just the duration but also the annoying, wearying quality of a low-intensity pain that refuses to go away completely. It is less severe than "dữ dội" (severe, intense) but more bothersome than "thoáng qua" (fleeting).
