The Vietnamese word "hái" is a verb that means "to pluck" or "to gather." It is commonly used in the context of picking fruits, flowers, or leaves.
Hái hoa - to gather flowers
Hái trái - to pick fruit
In a broader context, "hái" can also imply collecting or gathering things that are not just physical items. For instance, it can be used metaphorically to refer to collecting experiences or knowledge, although this usage is less common.
While "hái" mainly refers to the action of gathering or plucking, it can also evoke the idea of harvesting, especially in agricultural contexts.
