The Vietnamese word "tái phạm" is a verb that means "to relapse" or "to commit an offense again." It is commonly used in legal contexts, particularly when someone repeats a crime or wrongdoing after having previously been punished or rehabilitated.
In more complex discussions, "tái phạm" can be used in various contexts, such as addiction recovery or repeated bad habits. For example, in a conversation about someone trying to overcome addiction, one might say: - Sentence: "Việc tái phạm trong quá trình cai nghiện là rất phổ biến." - Translation: "Relapsing during the recovery process is very common."
While "tái phạm" primarily refers to the act of relapsing or re-offending, it can also be used in more general contexts to indicate any repetitive negative behavior, not just criminal acts.
Some synonyms for "tái phạm" include: - Tái diễn: This means "to recur" or "to happen again," and can be used in broader contexts. - Lặp lại: This means "to repeat," which can be used for both negative and positive contexts but lacks the specific connotation of wrongdoing.
