Key Grammar Structures
-
Anh đã chờ rất lâu
➔ Past Perfect Tense (Implied)
➔ While not explicitly using the Past Perfect (had + past participle), the context strongly suggests a completed action with relevance to the present. The action of waiting, even though it's continuing, started and has relevance to now.
-
Anh biết đã có những điều em vẫn chôn giấu
➔ Past Perfect + Present Perfect
➔ Using Past Perfect 'đã có' for things that *had* happened before the point the speaker knew, and the Present Perfect 'vẫn chôn giấu' for things that continue to be hidden until now (the past is still relevant to present).
-
Vậy thì ai là người nói ra?
➔ Emphasis with 'thì', Question formation with inversion
➔ 'Thì' is added for emphasis. The structure is a question using inversion to ask about someone or something. The construction is clear and used to create rhetorical emphasis.
-
Anh vẫn không tin dù là những lời dối trá
➔ Conjunction 'dù' (even though/although)
➔ The conjunction 'dù' introduces a concessive clause. It means 'even though' or 'although'.
-
Tình cờ là anh đang ngay gần nhà em
➔ Emphatic Sentence Structure (Adverbial modifier, subject)
➔ The sentence starts with a circumstantial (Tình cờ - Coincidentally) to set the scene, then subject is Anh (I). This is done to put emphasis on the circumstance.
-
liệu em có muốn bớt chút thời gian không?
➔ Modal verb 'muốn' + Question formation with 'không' (yes/no question).
➔ 'Muốn' is used to show a willingness/desire. 'Không' turns the statement into a Yes/No question
-
Có những nỗi niềm anh giấu kín
➔ Sentence structure with inverted order for emphasis
➔ The sentence structure is not the typical SVO order, 'Có những nỗi niềm' (There are feelings) comes first for emphasis, then the subject.
-
Vậy để anh là người nói ra
➔ Imperative with 'vậy để' and emphasis
➔ 'Vậy để' (So let/allow) is a phrase used to make a suggestion/give a command. Used here for emphasis that *he* will speak out.
-
Anh sẽ bất chấp vì em, làm chuyện xấu xa
➔ Future tense with emphasis, emphatic clause
➔ 'Sẽ' future tense is used with 'bất chấp' (no matter what) to emphatically convey his commitment to do anything for her, even 'bad' things.
