A small, deep dish used for holding food or liquids, typically made of ceramic, plastic, or metal.
Mẹ tôi rửa bát sau bữa ăn.
My mother washes the bowls after the meal.
Commonly used for soup, rice, or porridge.
The word 'bát' carries the sắc (rising) tone; mispronouncing the tone can change meaning.
Borrowed from Chinese 碗 (wǎn), meaning 'bowl', and adapted into Vietnamese.
Used in everyday contexts for any bowl-shaped container; distinguish from 'cốc' (cup) which is typically for drinks.
