Did you know?
- While the medical term uses tim for 'heart', traditional Vietnamese thought often locates emotions in the 'belly' bụng, 'intestines' lòng, or 'stomach' dạ.
- The use of the 'heart' as a figurative center for emotion in modern Vietnamese is partly an influence from French and Chinese, rather than being purely native.
- In Vietnamese, the word huyết is the Sino-Vietnamese term for 'blood', which is a more formal counterpart to the native word máu.
