How to Say "Perfect" in Vietnamese

hoàn hảo

[hwaːn˨˩ haːw˧˩]

The English word "perfect" is translated into Vietnamese as hoàn hảo.

hoàn hảo is an adjective used to describe people, objects or situations that are flawless or ideal.

Meaning: excellent and delightful in all respects (adj)

What does it mean word for word?

The term consists of two parts: hoàn, which means to complete or finish and hảo, which means good or fine.

To say that something is "too perfect" or "excessively perfect", you can place the word quá before hoàn hảo.

Because hoàn hảo is a high-value compliment, using it to describe a person's appearance can sometimes be seen as an exaggeration or a flirtation rather than a literal observation.
While hoàn hảo describes something flawless, the component hoàn can also stem from a word meaning 'round', which is a linguistic relative of the Vietnamese word viên.
In casual conversation, Vietnamese speakers often prefer the word chuẩn to describe something that is 'perfect' or 'spot on' in terms of accuracy.
