The Vietnamese word "rìu" is a noun that means "axe" in English. An axe is a tool that has a heavy metal blade attached to a long handle. It is commonly used for chopping wood or hacking at objects.

Usage Instructions:

• "Rìu" is primarily used to refer to the tool itself.
• It can be used in both practical contexts (like chopping wood) and metaphorical contexts (like making decisive cuts in plans or projects).

Example:

• "Tôi cần một cái rìu để chặt cây."
  • Translation: "I need an axe to chop the tree."

Advanced Usage:

In more advanced contexts, "rìu" can be used in idiomatic expressions or metaphorical language. For example, if someone is making a significant change or decision, one might say they are "sử dụng rìu" (using an axe) to imply they are cutting away the old to make way for the new.

Word Variants:

• "Rìu" can also be found in compound words or phrases related to its use, such as "rìu gỗ" (wooden axe) or "rìu sắt" (iron axe).

Different Meanings:

While "rìu" primarily refers to the tool, it can also imply a forceful or decisive action in a non-literal sense. However, it does not have many other meanings outside of this context in Vietnamese.

Synonyms:

• "Cái rìu" is a synonym that also means "axe," with "cái" being a classifier for objects.
• "Búa" (hammer) can sometimes be used in contexts involving heavy tools, but it specifically refers to a different tool.
