bán non

bán non is a Vietnamese verb phrase for selling too early: originally, selling a crop while it is still growing and not yet ready for harvest. The key feeling is not just “in advance,” but “from a weaker position,” often because the seller needs cash and accepts a lower price. This lesson also looks at how bán non extends beyond farming, such as selling an asset before it reaches full value, and why it differs from the more neutral bán trước.
