Dừng lại

Stop

معنی

Asking someone or something to stop moving.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'Stop' sign in Vietnam is red and octagonal, just like the international standard, but many drivers treat it as a 'Yield' sign. Saying 'Dừng lại' to a driver might need to be repeated! Young people often use 'Dừng lại' in a playful way when someone is telling a bad joke or being 'cringe.' The phrase is a 'power word' in V-Pop. It signifies a dramatic turning point in a song's narrative, usually a breakup. In a meeting, instead of saying 'Dừng lại' to a speaker, it is more polite to say 'Xin lỗi, tôi có ý kiến' (Sorry, I have an opinion).

💡

The 'Lại' Rule

Always include 'lại' when giving a command to stop. Just saying 'Dừng!' sounds like you're a drill sergeant or a robot.

⚠️

Tone Matters

If you use a rising tone on 'Dừng', it becomes 'Dựng' (to build). Be careful with your tones!

Politeness Hack

Add 'Cho con/em...' before 'dừng lại' when talking to elders to sound like a native speaker who knows their manners.

The 'Thôi' Alternative

If someone is pouring you too much tea, say 'Thôi, thôi' instead of 'Dừng lại.' It's much more natural.
