Notes on Usage

• "Nhường ấy" is a demonstrative pronoun used primarily in spoken Vietnamese or literary contexts to refer to a quantity. It is less common in very formal writing.
• It often carries a connotation of the quantity being noteworthy, sufficient, or surprisingly large/small based on the speaker's perspective.
• The word "nhường" within this phrase is an archaic term meaning "to cede" or "to yield," but in the fixed phrase "nhường ấy," this original meaning is not active; the phrase functions as a single unit meaning "that much/many."
