pazu Posted May 26, 2004 at 11:41 PM Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 at 11:41 PM So Anh NNT, what's tham nhũng 貪冗 in Vietnamese, is it corruption? I've found this article on 24 May 04, the title was Uỷ ban độc lập chống tham nhùng (ICAC): cơ quan chống tham nhũng hiệu quả của Dặc khu HK, Trung Quốc Isn't it the same as " 貪污"? Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnt Posted May 27, 2004 at 04:51 AM Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 at 04:51 AM tham nhũng 貪冗 tham ô 貪污 are synonyms in Vietnamese. The first one is just more used. Such expressions as tham quan ô lại 贪官污吏 are still used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazu Posted May 29, 2004 at 12:55 AM Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 at 12:55 AM So if I say "tham quan" only, can people understand it as "貪官", or would they just think it as "參觀"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnt Posted May 29, 2004 at 06:13 AM Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 at 06:13 AM He he; one is a verb, the other is a noun: the context will differentiate them. A sentence like tham quan đi tham quan is comprehensible (although it can be interpreted two ways, but that's playing on words) But tham quan said "as is" by a tourist, would be more likely understood as "sightseeing".

pazu Posted May 29, 2004 at 12:54 PM Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 at 12:54 PM Tôi chỉ có một diều mà không thích ở Việt Nam đó là tham quan. Or do I have to make myself clearer by writing this instead: Tôi chỉ có một diều mà không thích ở Việt Nam đó là tham quan du lịch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnt Posted May 29, 2004 at 01:33 PM Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 at 01:33 PM Tôi chỉ có một diều mà không thích ở Việt Nam đó là tham quan. You just have to say: Tôi chỉ có một diều mà không thích ở Việt Nam đó là đi tham quan. if you mean to go sightseeing. Or your solution : ...đó là tham quan du lịch is also perfectly clear. Nowadays officials are no longer 官 but 干部 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
