The Vietnamese word "bẩm sinh" is an adjective that means "innate" or "inborn." It describes something that is a natural part of a person or thing from the moment of birth, rather than something that is learned or developed over time.

Usage Instructions:

• "Bẩm sinh" is often used to talk about traits, abilities, or defects that someone possesses naturally.
• You can use it to describe positive qualities, like talent, as well as negative aspects, like a defect.

Examples:

1. Tật bẩm sinh: This phrase means "innate defect." For instance, if someone has a physical condition they were born with, you could say, "Người đó có một tật bẩm sinh" (That person has an innate defect).
2. Bẩm tính hiền lành: This means "innately good-natured." For example, "Cô ấy có bẩm tính hiền lành" (She is innately good-natured).

Advanced Usage:

• You might also see "bẩm sinh" used in more complex sentences to contrast with learned behavior. For example: "Thiên tài là do cố gắng bền bỉ lâu dài, đâu phải một thứ bẩm sinh," meaning "Genius is the result of long and enduring efforts and not something innate."

Word Variants:

• Bẩm tính: This noun refers to one's innate character or disposition. For example, "bẩm tính hiền lành" means "innately good-natured."
• Bẩm: This prefix can be used in other contexts to refer to birth or birth-related qualities.

Different Meanings:

While "bẩm sinh" usually refers to innate qualities, in some contexts, it can imply that something is not changeable or is deeply embedded in a person.

Synonyms:

• Bẩm: Often used in similar contexts related to birth or origin.
• Thiên bẩm: This means "natural talent" or "gift," similar to "bẩm sinh" but focuses more on positive abilities.
