Videoẩn dụ
The Vietnamese term ẩn dụ is a fundamental noun used to describe metaphors in literature and daily speech. While it functions similarly to the English concept of a figure of speech that suggests resemblance without using like or as, its application in Vietnamese poetry and prose offers a unique window into how the language handles abstract imagery and emotional depth. In this lesson, we explore how to distinguish between a simple comparison and a true metaphorical sentence. We also examine more complex variations, such as the extended metaphor and the confusing mixed metaphor, while learning how to use the verb form to describe the act of metaphorizing life itself. Watch the full lesson to master these literary nuances and enhance your Vietnamese expression.
