Thân thiện

Mẹ dùng cái sảo để vớt bánh rán ra khỏi chảo dầu.

Definition

1. Noun:

   • Bamboo lattice basket: A large, loosely woven basket made from bamboo strips, characterized by an open, lattice-like structure.

2. 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.
