The Vietnamese word "dân tộc chủ nghĩa" translates to "nationalism" or "nationalistic" in English. It refers to a political ideology that emphasizes the interests, culture, and identity of a particular nation or ethnic group. People who hold nationalist views often advocate for the rights and independence of their nation, and they may focus on promoting their cultural heritage.
While primarily understood as "nationalism," "dân tộc chủ nghĩa" can also have negative connotations in certain contexts if it leads to extreme patriotism or xenophobia (dislike of people from other countries).
