معنی
Stating the action of going to one's job.
زمینه فرهنگی
The morning commute is a massive social event. Most people 'đi làm' on motorbikes, creating a unique urban landscape. It's common to see people wearing sun-protective clothing (ninja lead) while going to work. Punctuality is increasingly important in modern offices, but 'đi làm muộn' (going to work late) due to traffic is a very common and often excused occurrence in cities like Ho Chi Minh City. Saying 'thưa' (respectful particle) before 'con đi làm' is a sign of a well-bred child in traditional families, showing respect to elders even as an adult. In rural areas, 'đi làm' might still refer to manual labor in the fields, and the timing is often dictated by the sun rather than a clock.
Drop the 'Tôi'
In casual settings, just say 'Đi làm đây!' to sound more like a native speaker.
Tone matters
If you say 'làm' with a rising tone (lám), it means nothing. Keep it low and falling.
