The Vietnamese word "dã tâm" is a noun that refers to a "wicked intention" or "bad ambition." It describes a desire or plan that is harmful, malicious, or unethical.
In a more complex context, "dã tâm" might be used in discussions about power dynamics or ethical dilemmas. For example, in literature or films, a character may be described as having "dã tâm" when they plot against others to achieve their goals.
While "dã tâm" primarily refers to negative intentions, it can also be used more broadly to describe any intense ambition, though the negative connotation usually prevails.
