The Vietnamese word "đấu giá" means "to auction" in English. It is used to describe the process of selling something to the highest bidder, where people place bids to buy an item, and the item is sold to the person who offers the most money.

Usage Instructions:

• "Đấu giá" is typically used as a verb in sentences. For example, you can say, "Họ sẽ đấu giá chiếc xe cổ vào cuối tuần này," which means "They will auction the vintage car this weekend."

Example:

• Simple Sentence: "Tôi muốn đấu giá tác phẩm nghệ thuật này." (I want to auction this artwork.)

Advanced Usage:

• In more complex sentences, you can discuss the types of items being auctioned or the context of the auction. For instance: "Phiên đấu giá lần này sẽ có nhiều món đồ quý giá từ thế kỷ 18." (This auction will have many valuable items from the 18th century.)

Word Variants:
