Showing that you empathize with someone.
문화적 배경
In the North, people might use 'Tôi hiểu mà' with a slightly more subtle, reserved tone. Subtlety (tế nhị) is highly valued. Southerners are often more direct and warm. They might say 'Tui hiểu mà' or 'Em hiểu mà nè' to add extra friendliness. Using 'Tôi hiểu mà' in a meeting can signal that you are a 'people person' who values relationships over just tasks. Children saying 'Con hiểu mà' to parents is a sign of maturity, showing they understand the parents' sacrifices.
