nộ

nộ is a Vietnamese word with a regional verb meaning: to intimidate, threaten, or deliberately scare someone, often to make them stop or comply. It is not the most standard everyday choice, so learners may meet it more often through related forms and context than as a standalone verb. The interesting twist is that nộ can also be a dialect noun meaning “crossbow,” related to the more standard nỏ. So how do you know whether nộ points to threatening behavior or a weapon? This lesson looks at the clues, including the common form nộ nạt and useful contrasts like dọa, đe dọa, and bắt nạt. Watch the full lesson to learn how to read it naturally in context.
