Significado
Speaking very sweetly and persuasively
Contexto cultural
Vietnamese people value 'lời nói chẳng mất tiền mua, lựa lời mà nói cho vừa lòng nhau' (Words cost nothing, so choose them to please each other). 'Nói như rót mật' is the extreme version of this value. Relationship-building (quan hệ) is key. Being able to 'rót mật' during a dinner meeting is often more important than the technical details of a contract. Many folk tales warn against the 'sweet-talker' (kẻ dẻo miệng). The fox in fables often 'nói như rót mật' to trick the crow. On TikTok and Facebook, 'rót mật' is often used to describe 'Thả thính' (dropping bait/flirting).
