The Vietnamese word "bỏ bẵng" is used to describe the action of giving up on something for a long time or completely omitting it from your attention. It conveys a sense of neglect or abandonment of an issue or task that was once important but has been forgotten or ignored.
In more advanced contexts, "bỏ bẵng" can be used in discussions about projects, relationships, or learning. For example: - "Tôi đã bỏ bẵng việc học tiếng Anh trong một thời gian dài." (I have neglected my English studies for a long time.)
While "bỏ bẵng" primarily means to neglect or abandon something, it can also imply a sense of forgetting or losing interest in it over time. It doesn’t necessarily have a negative connotation in all contexts but rather indicates a lack of action or attention.
