cặc

Vietnamese. Rfv-sense: "no". – Nguyên Hưng Trần (talk) 13:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

@Nguyên Hưng Trần: While I'm 8X (not GenZ / 2K / 10X) and left Vietnam over one decade ago, I think that your example "Cho mày cái con cặc nè!" (lit. Here is a penis for you!) can still be translated figuratively as "I'll give you no fucking thing". I would suggest that instead of classifying it as an adverb:

1. (Can we verify⁽⁺⁾ this sense?) (vulgar) no

   Cho mày cái con cặc nè!

   I won't fucking give this to you!

You can reclassify it as an indefinite pronoun, like English nothing:

1. (vulgar) nothing

   Cho mày cái con cặc nè!

   I'll give you no fucking thing!

Hope this'd help! Erminwin (talk) 19:51, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

@Erminwin Hmm... I think so. I'll try to reclassify this sense. – Nguyên Hưng Trần (talk) 00:40, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

This seems to have been resolved through a rewriting of the definition. MuDavid 栘𩿠 (talk) 02:28, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
