Notes on Usage
- Important: "Tặng cách" is a metalinguistic term. It is used only to talk the grammar of other languages. It is not a case used in Vietnamese grammar itself, as Vietnamese does not have a grammatical case system for nouns. The word is found almost exclusively in academic, linguistic, or language-learning contexts.
