ti tích

Mây ti tích trôi nhẹ trên bầu trời xanh thẳm.

Definition

1. Noun:
   • Cirrus cloud: A type of high-altitude cloud that is thin, wispy, and composed of ice crystals. The term "ti tích" is a specific, somewhat literary or scientific Vietnamese term for this cloud formation.

Usage Examples

• Noun:
  • Trên bầu trời chỉ lơ lửng vài áng ti tích trắng. (Only a few wisps of white cirrus clouds hung in the sky.)
  • Ti tích là một trong những loại mây cao nhất.* (Cirrus clouds are among the highest types of clouds.)

Advanced Usage

• The term "ti tích" is often used in more descriptive, poetic, or formal contexts (e.g., in literature, weather reports, or scientific descriptions) rather than in everyday conversation. In daily speech, "mây ti" or the more general "mây" (cloud) is more common.

Variants and Related Words

• Mây ti (n): A more common and general term for cirrus clouds.
  • Bầu trời hôm nay trong xanh với những sợi mây ti. (The sky is clear blue with strands of cirrus clouds today.)

Synonyms

• Cirrus: The standard international scientific term for this cloud type.
• Cirrus cloud: The full English term.
• Mare's tail: An informal English term for a specific type of wispy cirrus cloud.

Notes on Usage

• "Ti tích" is a compound word where "ti" refers to the cirrus form and "tích" can imply traces or wisps, emphasizing their delicate, streaky appearance. It is important to note that this is a single, specific term for a type of cloud, not a general word for "cloud."
• The reference "xem mây ti tích" from other dictionaries means "see: mây ti tích," indicating that "ti tích" is typically used as part of the fuller phrase "mây ti tích." However, "ti tích" can stand alone as a noun to mean "cirrus cloud(s)."
