The Vietnamese word "tất nhiên" means "of course," "naturally," or "inevitably" in English. It is used to express agreement, certainty, or to affirm something that is obvious or expected.

Usage Instructions:

• You can use "tất nhiên" in conversations when you want to confirm something positively.
• It often follows a question or statement that suggests a clear or obvious answer.

Examples:

1. Basic Use:

   • A: "Bạn có thích ăn phở không?" (Do you like to eat pho?)
   • B: "Tất nhiên!" (Of course!)

2. In a sentence:

   • "Nếu trời mưa, tất nhiên chúng ta sẽ ở nhà." (If it rains, we will naturally stay home.)

Advanced Usage:

• "Tất nhiên" can be used in more formal contexts, such as speeches or written texts, to emphasize the certainty of a statement.
• It can also be used sarcastically in some contexts, depending on the tone of voice, to imply that something is too obvious to even mention.

Word Variants:

• Tất cả: This means "all" or "everything," and is related but not the same. It can be used when referring to a group or totality.
• Chắc chắn: This translates to "certain" or "sure," which conveys a similar sense of certainty but in a different context.

Different Meanings:

While "tất nhiên" primarily means "of course," in different contexts, it can also imply the inevitability of an outcome. For example: - "Khi bạn làm việc chăm chỉ, thành công sẽ đến, đó là tất nhiên." (When you work hard, success will come; that is inevitable.)

Synonyms:

• Đương nhiên: This is another way to say "of course," and it is very similar in meaning.
• Hiển nhiên: This means "obvious" or "evident," and can be used in contexts where something is clear or unmistakable.
