Performing domestic chores.
文化背景
The 'Tết' cleaning ritual is the most significant cultural event involving 'việc nhà'. Families believe that a clean house attracts the Kitchen Gods and good fortune. In big cities like Hanoi and Saigon, the rise of 'robot hút bụi' (robot vacuums) has changed how young professionals view 'việc nhà', making it more tech-oriented. In rural areas, 'việc nhà' often includes tasks like feeding livestock or drying rice, blending domestic chores with agricultural work. For Vietnamese living abroad, 'làm việc nhà' is often a way to maintain cultural traditions, such as cooking traditional meals or keeping a traditional altar clean.

Homework vs Housework
Never say 'làm việc nhà' when you mean school assignments. Your teacher will be very confused!
