When counting or specifying quantity, use the classifier ‘cái’: ‘hai cái chậu nhỏ’ (two small pots).
‘chậu’ originates from Middle Vietnamese meaning ‘container or pot’; ‘nhỏ’ comes from Old Vietnamese meaning ‘small’. The phrase combines the two to describe a diminutive container.
Use ‘chậu nhỏ’ when referring to any modest-sized pot, especially for houseplants or decorative purposes. For larger containers, say ‘chậu lớn’ or use ‘bình’.
