Significado
Describing something very light or insignificant.
Contexto cultural
In Vietnamese war poetry, this phrase is used to glorify the spirit of soldiers who do not fear death. The phrase is part of a famous couplet contrasting Mount Tai (stability/importance) with a feather (insignificance). The idea of 'lightness' aligns with the Buddhist concept of 'Buông bỏ' (letting go) of earthly attachments.
Use with 'Coi'
Always pair it with 'coi' (consider) to sound like a native speaker discussing their attitude.
Not for Weight Loss
Don't use this to compliment someone's weight loss; it sounds like you're saying they are insignificant.
