The Vietnamese word "nhẽo nhèo" is an adjective that describes something that is soft, mushy, or easily squished. It is often used to refer to food, particularly when something is overly soft or has lost its firmness. This term can also describe a person who is weak or lacks strength, but it is more commonly used for food.

Usage Instructions:

• "Nhẽo nhèo" is typically used to describe the texture of food, especially when it is not firm or is overly cooked.

Example:

• Person Context: If you were to say, "Cậu ấy nhẽo nhèo quá!" it would imply that the person is weak or lacks determination.

Advanced Usage:

In more advanced usage, "nhẽo nhèo" can express a sense of disappointment or dissatisfaction with something that does not meet expectations due to its softness.
