The Vietnamese word "bạo hành" means "violence." It refers to any act of physical force that can cause harm or injury to someone. This term is often used in contexts related to domestic violence, abuse, or any aggressive behavior that can lead to physical or emotional harm.
Bạo hành gia đình là một vấn đề nghiêm trọng.
(Domestic violence is a serious issue.)
Chúng ta cần ngăn chặn bạo hành trong xã hội.
(We need to prevent violence in society.)
In more complex discussions, "bạo hành" can also be paired with other words to form phrases: - Bạo hành thể xác (physical violence) - Bạo hành tinh thần (emotional or psychological violence)
While "bạo hành" specifically refers to acts of violence, it often carries connotations of abuse or maltreatment. It is used primarily in serious contexts, unlike "bạo lực," which may be used more generally.
