A Very Useful Tip For Using VDict.com
All along, when using vdict.com to translate from TV to English, I only type in the english alphabet for the vietnamese word without the symbols. For example, the word "gian". Normally we use it when we want to say "angry". But, when we type "gian" into the translatioin box in vdict.com, we get the following:
gian
noun: apartment, compartment; room
adj: tricky; dishonest; disloyal
Hmm... not really means "angry", right? So, how?
Try this.. After typing in gian in the translate box, change the match type from Exact to Fuzzy, then you click the Lookup box.
What you will see is that an entire list of probable matches for "gian" will appear as the result. It ranges from gan to giam to gian to gien to gion etc etc.
Like this, you are sure to be able to find the meaning of the word. In my example above, we are looking for "giận":
giận
verb: to be angry
- nổi giận
to be out of temper; to get angry
Hope this help bros when trying to decipher their girls' messages.
