báo ứng

Friendly

The Vietnamese word "báo ứng" translates to "retribution" or "to receive retribution for one's deeds" in English. It refers to the idea that a person's actions, whether good or bad, will eventually lead to consequences or rewards that correspond to those actions. This can be seen as a form of karma, where good deeds lead to positive outcomes and bad deeds lead to negative outcomes.

Usage Instructions:

• "Báo ứng" is typically used in contexts discussing morality, justice, or the consequences of one's actions. It can be used in both positive and negative contexts, depending on whether the actions were good or bad.

Example:

• Positive Context: "Khi bạn giúp đỡ người khác, bạn sẽ nhận được báo ứng tốt." (When you help others, you will receive good retribution.)
• Negative Context: "Những kẻ xấu sẽ nhận được báo ứng cho những việc họ đã làm." (Evil people will receive retribution for the things they have done.)

Advanced Usage:

• "Báo ứng" can also be used in philosophical or spiritual discussions, especially when talking about the principles of cause and effect in life. For example, one might say, "Cuộc sống là một chuỗi báo ứng, mọi hành động của chúng ta đều có hậu quả." (Life is a chain of retribution; every action of ours has consequences.)

Word Variants:

• Báo ứng tốt: Good retribution (for good deeds).
• Báo ứng xấu: Bad retribution (for bad deeds).

Different Meaning:

While "báo ứng" primarily refers to retribution in a moral sense, it can also be understood in a broader context of consequences in life, not strictly tied to morality. For example, someone working hard may receive "báo ứng" in the form of success or recognition.

Synonyms:

• Trả giá: To pay the price (often used to indicate facing consequences).
• Hậu quả: Consequences (more general term, can refer to any outcome, not just moral).
