The Vietnamese word "màng" has a couple of important meanings that can be understood in different contexts.

Definition:

1. Noun (Anatomy): "Màng" refers to a "membrane" in English. This is a thin layer of tissue that covers surfaces, lines cavities, or divides spaces in the body. For example, the membranes in our bodies protect organs and help in various functions.

2. Web or Layer: It can also mean a "web" or a "layer" of something, often used in a more abstract sense, like a web of connections or layers of meaning in a discussion.

3. Verb: When used as a verb, "màng" can mean "to take interest in something." However, in the phrase "không màng đến việc gì," it translates to "to take no interest in something," implying a sense of indifference or disregard.

Usage Instructions:

• As a noun, "màng" is used in anatomical contexts or when discussing layers or membranes.
• As a verb, it is used to express interest or lack of interest in something.

Examples:

1. Noun:

   • "Màng phổi" translates to "pleura," which is the membrane surrounding the lungs.
   • "Màng tế bào" means "cell membrane," which is the outer layer of a cell.

2. Verb:

   • "Cô ấy không màng đến ý kiến của người khác." This means "She does not take interest in the opinions of others."

Advanced Usage:

In more advanced contexts, "màng" can be used metaphorically. For instance, you might say "màng bảo vệ" (protective layer) when discussing security in a business or personal context, or "màng xã hội" (social web) to describe the connections between people in society.

Word Variants:

While "màng" itself is the base word, you might encounter related terms that include it, such as: - "màng nhĩ" (eardrum) - "màng bụng" (peritoneum)

Different Meanings:

• In some contexts, "màng" can refer to a protective layer or barrier in non-medical terms, such as in technology or environmental science.
