The Vietnamese word "phọt" is a verb that means "to spurt," "to spout," or "to squirt." It describes a sudden, forceful release of a liquid, often in a quick and powerful way.
Literal: "Máu phọt ra từ vết thương."
(Blood spurted out from the wound.)
Figurative: "Nước phọt ra từ vòi nước."
(Water spurted out from the faucet.)
While "phọt" primarily refers to the action of liquid spurting, it can also be used in a more playful or humorous context to describe someone speaking out suddenly or unexpectedly.
