The Vietnamese word "núi lửa" means "volcano" in English.
A "núi lửa" is a mountain or hill that can erupt with lava, ash, and gases from deep inside the Earth. Volcanoes can be dangerous, but they can also create beautiful landscapes and fertile soil.
In a more advanced context, you might discuss the effects of "núi lửa" on climate or local ecosystems, such as: - "Sự phun trào của núi lửa có thể ảnh hưởng đến khí hậu toàn cầu." (The eruption of a volcano can affect global climate.)
While "núi lửa" strictly refers to a volcano, the individual words can have different meanings: - "Núi" can refer to any mountain, not just a volcanic one. - "Lửa" can refer to fire in general, not specifically the fire associated with a volcano.
There aren't many direct synonyms in Vietnamese for "núi lửa," but you might encounter: - "Thủy lôi" (which refers to a type of underwater volcanic activity, but this is not commonly used as a synonym).
"Núi lửa" is an important word in Vietnamese when discussing natural features, geology, or environmental science.
