Definition

Verb: 1. To submit, to present formally: The act of formally sending or presenting a document, proposal, or report to a person or authority in a higher position for consideration, approval, or review. 2. To refer: The act of sending a matter or document to an authority or body for a decision or judgment.

Usage

• Đệ trình is a formal verb used in official, administrative, legal, or academic contexts. It implies a hierarchical relationship where the sender is in a subordinate position relative to the recipient (e.g., citizen to government, employee to manager, student to committee).
• The structure is typically: đệ trình + [document/proposal] + lên + [authority/person].
• It can also be used without lên when the recipient is clear from context.

Usage Examples

• (The company needs to submit its financial report to the tax authority before March 30th.)
• (The lawyer will submit new evidence to the court.)
• (The student presented his research topic to the faculty council.)
• (This issue has been referred to the board of directors for consideration.)
