sảo
Definition
Noun:
- Bamboo lattice basket: A large, loosely woven basket made from bamboo strips, characterized by an open, lattice-like structure.
Verb:
- To give birth prematurely / to miscarry: To deliver a baby before it has fully developed and is able to survive independently. This usage is often found in the compound term "sảo thai".
Usage Examples
- Noun:
- Bà ấy đựng rau mới hái vào cái sảo. (She put the freshly picked vegetables into the bamboo lattice basket.)
- Verb:
- Người phụ nữ đó đã bị sảo. (That woman had a premature birth.)
Advanced Usage
- The verb form is considered dated or specialized. In modern medical contexts, terms like "sinh non" (premature birth) or "sẩy thai" (miscarriage) are more commonly used.
- The noun form is also somewhat traditional, as such specific basket types are less common in modern daily life.
Variants and Related Words
- Sảo thai (v): The full, traditional term for miscarrying or having a premature birth.
- Sức khỏe yếu có thể dẫn đến sảo thai. (Poor health can lead to miscarriage.)
Synonyms
- Noun: Basket, crate, hamper.
- Verb: Miscarry, abort, deliver prematurely.
Notes on Usage
- This word has two distinct and unrelated meanings (a type of basket and a medical condition). The intended meaning is entirely dependent on context.
- Both meanings are now considered somewhat archaic or specialized. Learners are more likely to encounter this word in historical texts, literature, or when speaking with older generations.
