Videonằm ngủ

nằm ngủ is the Vietnamese verb for sleeping while lying down, with nằm pointing to the reclining position and ngủ carrying the basic idea of sleep. That small combination makes it more specific than simply saying ngủ, especially when the posture or setting matters. But nằm ngủ is not limited to people resting on a bed. Vietnamese can also use it for dormancy, such as seeds inactive in the soil, and even for abstract potential that has not yet awakened. When should you hear it as physical sleep, and when as “lying dormant”? Watch the full lesson to see how the context guides the meaning.
