Advanced Usage:

• "Khám nhà" can also be used in a more informal context among friends or family when talking about searching for something lost in a home. However, this usage is less common and may not carry the same seriousness as its legal context.

Synonyms:

• Kiểm tra nhà: This translates to "check the house" and can refer to any type of inspection, not just in a legal context.
• Tìm kiếm: This means "to search" and can be used more generally for looking for something, not specifically related to a house.
