dật sĩ

Friendly

The Vietnamese word "dật sĩ" refers to a "retired scholar" or a "learned person who has withdrawn from public life." This term combines the word "dật," which means to withdraw or retreat, and "sĩ," which means scholar or gentleman.

Usage Instructions:

• "Dật sĩ" is used as a noun and typically describes someone who has had a career in academia or scholarship but has decided to step back from public duties or responsibilities.
• It can carry a connotation of wisdom and deep knowledge, as these individuals often retire after many years of study and teaching.

Example Sentence:

• "Ông ấy là một dật sĩ nổi tiếng, đã có nhiều công trình nghiên cứu về văn hóa Việt Nam." ("He is a famous retired scholar who has many research works on Vietnamese culture.")

Advanced Usage:

• In literature or formal discussions, "dật sĩ" can be used to highlight the value of wisdom and the importance of reflection after a lifetime of learning.
• It may also be used metaphorically to describe someone who, while not officially a scholar, embodies the qualities of a learned individual who prefers a quiet life.

Word Variants:

• A related term is "học giả," which means "scholar" and can refer to someone currently engaged in scholarly activities, unlike "dật sĩ," who is retired.
• "Tri thức" means "intellectual" or "knowledgeable person" and can be used in a broader context.

Different Meanings:

• While "dật sĩ" primarily refers to a retired scholar, in some contexts, it can also imply someone who is wise and knowledgeable, regardless of their official status or career.

Synonyms:

• "Học giả" (scholar) - refers to an active scholar.
• "Nhà trí thức" (intellectual) - someone who engages in critical thinking and analysis.
• "Người uyên thâm" (erudite person) - someone deeply knowledgeable in a particular field.
