The Vietnamese word "gắn liền" is a verb that means to connect closely, to go with, or to be related to something. It is often used to describe strong relationships between things, ideas, or people.
Công việc và niềm đam mê gắn liền với nhau.
(Work and passion are closely connected.)
Truyền thống gắn liền với văn hóa của một dân tộc.
(Traditions are related to the culture of a nation.)
In more complex sentences, "gắn liền" can be used to discuss abstract concepts or to show deeper relationships. For example: - Sự phát triển kinh tế gắn liền với sự cải cách giáo dục.
(Economic development is closely linked to educational reform.)
While "gắn liền" primarily focuses on connection, it can also imply dependence in certain contexts. For example, if something is said to be "gắn liền" with a particular outcome, it suggests that one affects the other significantly.
