Pro Tip

Distinguish 'gà' and 'thịt gà'

Use 'gà' when referring to the live chicken or the animal in general (e.g., 'con gà' = a chicken). Use 'thịt gà' specifically for the meat.

Word Origin

Thịt (flesh/meat) + gà (chicken). 'Thịt' derives from Old Chinese 肉 (MC nyuwk), while 'gà' is native Vietnamese.

Usage Notes

Refers to the meat specifically, not the live animal. In Vietnamese, 'gà' alone can mean the animal or its meat depending on context. 'Thịt gà' is explicit about the meat.
