tuần dư

Một tuần dư đã trôi qua kể từ khi chúng tôi bắt đầu dự án.

Definition

1. Noun:
   • A period of more than ten days: Specifically refers to a duration that exceeds ten days but is less than a full fortnight or two weeks. It is a compound of "tuần" (week) and "dư" (extra, surplus), implying a week plus some extra days.

Usage Examples

• Noun:
  • Chuyến công tác của anh ấy kéo dài một tuần dư. (His business trip lasted a week and a bit more.)
  • Họ đã mất một tuần dư để hoàn thành dự án. (It took them a week and a few extra days to complete the project.)

Advanced Usage

• The term is somewhat formal or literary and is not extremely common in everyday casual speech. It is used for precise temporal description.

Variants and Related Words

• Hơn một tuần: More than a week. This is a more common and colloquial way to express a similar duration.
  • Tôi sẽ đi vắng hơn một tuần. (I will be away for more than a week.)

Synonyms

• Over a week: A period exceeding seven days.
• More than ten days: A duration longer than a decade of days.

Notes on Usage

• "Tuần dư" explicitly indicates a count of days beyond ten, making it more specific than the general "hơn một tuần" (more than a week). It is typically used when the speaker wishes to emphasize that the period is notably longer than a standard week but not a full two weeks.
