câu

câu is a small Vietnamese word with a surprisingly wide range: it can point to a sentence, a line of verse, a dove or pigeon in compounds, and even an older literary image of a young horse. The key is not memorizing one English equivalent, but noticing the words around it. As a verb, câu most often appears in câu , “to go fishing,” but the same idea can stretch toward hooking, lifting, luring customers, or stalling in expressions like câu giờ. How do you know which meaning is active in real Vietnamese? Watch the full lesson to see the context clues that make câu much easier to read and use.
