The Vietnamese word "đua tranh" means "to compete sharply" or "to compete intensely." It is often used to describe situations where individuals or groups are in a fierce competition, trying their best to win or achieve a particular goal.
While "đua tranh" primarily refers to intense competition, it can also imply a sense of struggle or striving in various contexts, such as "đua tranh trong học tập" (competing in studies) where students work hard to achieve high grades.
