mụ
mụ is a small Vietnamese word with meanings that shift sharply by context and tone. As a noun, it can be a rude way to refer to an old woman, but in older or rural usage, bà mụ points to a midwife, and in folk belief mụ can connect to birth goddesses and lễ cúng mụ. The word also works as an adjective for a dull, torpid, mentally foggy state, especially after exhaustion or illness. So how do you tell insult, tradition, belief, or mental fog apart when you meet the same form? Watch the full lesson to learn how context guides the meaning of mụ.
