The Vietnamese word "đen kịt" refers to a very deep, dark black color, similar to the idea of "inky-black" in English. It describes something that is extremely black, often with a rich or intense quality.
In more advanced contexts, "đen kịt" can be used to convey a sense of foreboding or negativity, as in: - "Tương lai của công ty này có vẻ đen kịt." (The future of this company seems bleak.)
While "đen kịt" primarily describes color, it can also symbolize feelings of despair or hopelessness in a situation, as mentioned earlier.
