goá

goá is the Vietnamese word for being widowed: the state of having lost a husband or wife and not remarried. It can work as an adjective, and in some sentences it can behave like a stative verb, so its grammar is a little more flexible than a simple English label suggests. A key nuance is how Vietnamese often makes the meaning clearer with phrases like goá chồng and goá vợ, depending on which spouse has died. The lesson also touches on related forms such as goá phụ, quả phụ, and goá bụa, plus why standalone goá may feel more formal or literary. Watch the full lesson to learn how to use it naturally and carefully.
