Significado
Describing a large open space.
Contexto cultural
In cities like Hanoi, 'rộng thênh thang' is the ultimate luxury. Because most houses are narrow, having a wide space is a sign of high social status. It is often used to describe the 'cánh đồng mẫu lớn' (large-scale rice fields), symbolizing the bounty and hard work of farmers. The phrase appears in many 'nhạc đỏ' (revolutionary music) and 'nhạc Trịnh' to describe the beauty of the Vietnamese landscape and the freedom of the soul. Spaciousness is linked to the flow of 'Khí'. A 'rộng thênh thang' entrance is believed to welcome good fortune into a business.
Complimenting a Host
If you visit a Vietnamese person's home, saying 'Nhà rộng thênh thang quá!' is a very polite and high-level compliment.
Avoid for People
Never use this to describe a person's size, even if you mean they are 'wide.' It sounds like you are calling them a parking lot.
