뜻
Shutting down an electronic device.
문화적 배경
There is a strong cultural emphasis on saving electricity ('tiết kiệm điện'). Leaving a computer on overnight is often seen as irresponsible. Turning off your computer is a clear signal to colleagues that you are officially 'off the clock' and should not be disturbed with more work. In gaming cafes, the owner uses software to remotely 'tắt máy' when a user's time expires, a common experience for Vietnamese youth. Young IT professionals in Saigon or Hanoi often use the English word 'shutdown' instead of 'tắt' when speaking with peers.
