Note: "Tiệt nhiên" itself is a formal, literary adverb and is not commonly the core of idiomatic expressions. Its function is to intensify statements. - Không thể chối cãi: undeniable; indisputable. This phrase is often intensified by "tiệt nhiên". - Đó là một sự thật tiệt nhiên không thể chối cãi. (That is an indisputably undeniable truth.)
