Notes on Meaning
- "Ực" is primarily an onomatopoeic word. It is not used as a standard noun or verb in formal language but is common in descriptive spoken and written Vietnamese to vividly depict the sound of swallowing.
- The related form "ừng ực" is more frequently used than the single "ực" to describe the sound of continuous drinking.
adv
