nhơm nhớp

The Vietnamese word "nhơm nhớp" refers to something that is dirty, messy, or grimy. It is often used to describe a state of being unclean or sullied, whether in terms of physical objects or environments. The word is an example of a reduplicated form in Vietnamese, which adds emphasis to the meaning.

Usage Instructions:

• "Nhơm nhớp" can be used to describe a variety of situations or objects, such as dirty hands, messy rooms, or unclean surfaces.
• It is often used in informal contexts.
