những

những is one of those small Vietnamese words that does more than a single English translation can capture. Most often, it appears before nouns to mark an unspecified plural idea, likesome,” “several,” or simply a plural group, as in “những người bạn của tôimeaning “my friends.” But the real clue is what comes after it. Before a number, những can add emphasis, like “as many as.” Before a verb, it can point to a constant or repeated action. It can even help express restriction, as in “nothing but.” Watch the full lesson to see how this one word shifts with nouns, numbers, and verbs.
