The Vietnamese word "ẩn tướng" translates to "hidden physiognomic features" in English. It refers to characteristics or traits that are not immediately visible or obvious in a person's face or appearance. These features can indicate deeper personality traits or inner qualities that may not be apparent at first glance.

Usage Instructions:

• "Ẩn tướng" is often used in contexts where people discuss someone's personality, behavior, or emotional state that is not reflected in their outward appearance.
• It can be used in both formal discussions about psychology or character analysis and informal conversations when talking about people’s personalities.

Example:

• "Mặc dù cô ấy có vẻ lạnh lùng, nhưng tôi tin rằng cô ấy có nhiều ẩn tướng tốt." (Although she seems cold, I believe she has many hidden good traits.)

Advanced Usage:

• In literature or poetry, "ẩn tướng" can be used to describe characters in-depth, emphasizing that their true nature is concealed beneath their surface appearance.
• In psychology, it may be discussed regarding how people can misinterpret others based on their initial impressions without recognizing their "ẩn tướng."

Word Variants:

  • "tướng mạo" (physiognomy) – which refers to the outward appearance, particularly the face.
  • "bản chất" (nature) – which refers to the underlying essence or character of a person.

Different Meanings:
