Usage Examples

  • Ông ấy là một người từng trải. (He is an experienced person.)
  • Cô ấy có vẻ ngoài bình thản của người từng trải. (She has the calm demeanor of someone who is seasoned by life.)

Advanced Usage

• The word is almost exclusively used to describe people, not objects or abstract concepts. It carries a connotation of wisdom gained through direct, often difficult, life experience.

Variants and Related Words

• Từng trải nghiệm (v): to have experienced (something). This is a verb phrase, not a direct variant of the adjective "từng trải."
  • Anh ấy đã từng trải nghiệm nhiều nền văn hóa. (He has experienced many cultures.)

Notes on Usage

• Important: The headword "tầng trãi" appears to be a less common or archaic spelling variant. The standard, modern Vietnamese spelling is "từng trải". All common usage and dictionary references are for "từng trải".
• The word implies a depth of understanding that comes from having "been through" life's ups and downs, not merely from academic study.
