Pro Tip

Distinguish from 'tinh thần'

'Cơ thể' refers to the physical body, while 'tinh thần' refers to the mind or spirit. For example, 'chăm sóc cả cơ thể lẫn tinh thần' means 'to care for both body and mind'.

Gold Rule

Use in health contexts

Always use 'cơ thể' when discussing physical health, fitness, or medical examinations. Never use it to refer to emotions or mental states.

Word Origin

From 'cơ' (body, flesh) + 'thể' (form, shape), both Sino-Vietnamese roots.

Usage Notes

Used interchangeably with 'thân thể' in most contexts. 'Cơ thể' is more common in medical or formal writing, while 'thân thể' may sound slightly more poetic or literary.
