The Vietnamese word "di lụy" refers to the idea of causing problems or difficulties for future generations as a result of one's actions or choices. It's often used in discussions about environmental issues, social responsibilities, or financial matters, where current behaviors may lead to negative consequences for those who come after us.
In more advanced contexts, "di lụy" can be used in discussions about policy making, ethical responsibilities, or long-term planning. For instance, in a debate about economic policies, one might say: - "Các quyết định tài chính hiện tại có thể dẫn đến di lụy cho đất nước trong tương lai." (Current financial decisions may lead to problems for the country in the future.)
While "di lụy" primarily refers to the troubles caused for future generations, it can also imply a sense of legacy or the long-term impact of one's choices.
