Etymology 1
Sino-Vietnamese word from 眾 (“many”).
Particle
chúng (眾)
- pluralizing particle for pronouns
Usage notes
- Not universally versatile. Only comfortably compatible with certain pronouns and kinship terms, such as tôi, ta, mày, mình, nó, con, cháu. With some others, such as tao, it is not as comfortably compatible and may sound somewhat jarring. chúng bạn (“your friends; your cohorts”) may sound a bit old-fashioned.
