The Vietnamese word "ngọt lự" is an expression used to describe something that is very sweet or delicious, often in a way that is almost overwhelming. It can refer to food, drinks, or even feelings or situations that bring joy and pleasure.
In a more poetic or expressive context, "ngọt lự" can be used metaphorically to describe emotions or experiences that are incredibly pleasant or heartwarming. For example: - "Ký ức về ngày hôm đó vẫn ngọt lự trong tâm trí tôi." (The memory of that day is still so sweet in my mind.)
While "ngọt lự" primarily refers to sweetness, it can also imply something that is overly sweet to the point of being cloying. For instance, if a dessert is too sugary, one might say "ngọt lự quá" to indicate that it might be too sweet for their taste.
