The Vietnamese word "sát nhân" has two main components: "sát," which means "to kill" or "murder," and "nhân," which means "person." Together, "sát nhân" translates to "murderer" in English, referring to someone who kills another person intentionally.

Basic Usage:

• Noun: "sát nhân" is primarily used as a noun.
• Meaning: It refers to a person who has committed murder.

Example:

• "Cảnh sát đã bắt giữ kẻ sát nhân." (The police have arrested the murderer.)

Advanced Usage:

In more advanced contexts, "sát nhân" can be used in legal discussions or crime-related narratives. It may also appear in literature or media when discussing themes of crime and morality.

Word Variants:

• Kẻ sát nhân: This is a more detailed way to say "murderer," where "kẻ" means "person" or "character," emphasizing the role of the person who commits murder.
• Sát hại: This verb means "to kill" or "to murder," and is related to "sát nhân."

Different Meanings:

While "sát nhân" specifically refers to a murderer, the root "sát" can be used in other contexts related to killing, but it does not always imply a person. For example: - "sát sinh" (to kill living beings) refers to the act of killing something, not necessarily a person.

Synonyms:

• Kẻ giết người: Another term for "murderer" which literally means "person who kills."
• Tội phạm: This means "criminal" and can refer to a broader range of crimes, not specifically murder.
