In more complex contexts, "nghi thức" can refer to specific protocols or procedures in various fields, such as diplomacy or military. For example, one might talk about "nghi thức ngoại giao" (diplomatic protocol) when discussing formal interactions between countries.
While "nghi thức" primarily refers to ceremonies, it can also imply a sense of formality in actions or behaviors. For example, you might talk about "nghi thức giao tiếp" (communication protocol) referring to the formal way of interacting in certain situations.
