'Gia đình' is a central concept in Vietnamese society, often prioritized over individual interests.
In Vietnamese culture, maintaining harmony and showing respect within the family is highly valued.
From Sino-Vietnamese 'gia' (家, meaning 'home') and 'đình' (庭, meaning 'courtyard'), originally referring to the household and its members.
In Vietnamese culture, 'gia đình' carries strong cultural significance, often emphasizing respect, loyalty, and mutual support among family members.
