The Vietnamese word "sổ tiết kiệm" translates to "savings book" in English. It is a document that you receive from a bank or a financial institution when you open a savings account. This book keeps a record of the money you deposit, withdraw, and the interest you earn over time.

Usage Instructions:

1. Opening a Savings Account: When you go to a bank to save money, you can ask to open a savings account. The bank will provide you with a "sổ tiết kiệm."
2. Recording Transactions: Every time you deposit or withdraw money, the bank will write it down in your savings book. This helps you keep track of your savings.
3. Checking Balance: You can check how much money you have saved by looking at your "sổ tiết kiệm."

Example:

• Basic Usage: "Tôi đã gửi tiền vào sổ tiết kiệm của mình."
  • (I have deposited money into my savings book.)

Advanced Usage:

• Interest Accumulation: You can discuss how interest is added to your savings with phrases like "lãi suất" (interest rate). For example: "Lãi suất trên sổ tiết kiệm của tôi là 5% mỗi năm."
  • (The interest rate on my savings book is 5% per year.)

Word Variants:

• Tiết kiệm: This means "to save" or "savings."
• Sổ tiết kiệm điện tử: This means "electronic savings book," which refers to a digital version of the savings book.

Different Meanings:

Synonyms:

• Tài khoản tiết kiệm: This means "savings account" and is a more general term for any account used for saving money, not specifically referring to a physical book.
• Sổ ngân hàng: This translates to "bank book," which may refer to similar documentation but can also include checking accounts.
