Definition
  1. Verb:
    • To repay, to compensate (for kindness/favors): "đền bồi" refers to the act of repaying or compensating someone, especially for their kindness, favors, or moral debts, often out of a sense of gratitude and obligation. It implies a return that matches or compensates for what one has received.
Usage
  • The verb "đền bồi" is used to express the action of repaying a moral or emotional debt. It is often followed by the object of the debt (e.g., công ơn, ân tình).
  • It carries a strong connotation of gratitude and moral duty, rather than a simple financial transaction.
Usage Examples
  • Verb:

  • Báo đáp (verb): to repay, to require (often for kindness from parents or superiors). Very close in meaning to "đền bồi".

Notes on Meaning
  • Primary Meaning: The core meaning of "đền bồi" is repaying a non-material debt, such as gratitude, kindness, or favors. It is an act of moral reciprocity.
  • Nuance: Compared to "đền bù" (which often involves material compensation for losses), "đền bồi" is more about emotional or moral compensation for positive acts received.
