Nhân viên truy tìm hành lý ký gửi.

A natural word-by-word breakdown is:

• nhân viên = staff member, employee
• truy tìm = trace, search for, track down
• hành lý = baggage, luggage
• ký gửi = checked in, consigned for transport

So hành lý ký gửi is checked baggage or checked luggage.

Because Vietnamese usually puts modifiers after the noun.

So:

• hành lý ký gửi = baggage that has been checked in
• literally, something like baggage checked-in

This is very common in Vietnamese. English often puts modifiers before the noun, but Vietnamese often puts them after.

It is best understood here as a compound verb.

• truy has the sense of pursuing, tracing, tracking
• tìm means looking for, searching

Together, truy tìm means something like to trace and locate, to track down, or to search for in an organized way. It sounds more formal and purposeful than just tìm.

Tìm is the general verb to look for.

Truy tìm is stronger and more formal. It suggests trying to locate something systematically, often after it has gone missing.

So in an airport context:

• tìm hành lý = look for baggage
• truy tìm hành lý = trace missing baggage / track down baggage

That is why truy tìm fits well in this kind of sentence.

Here, ký gửi means to check in for transport or to consign.

In travel language:

• hành lý xách tay = carry-on baggage
• hành lý ký gửi = checked baggage

So ký gửi is not just any kind of sending. It is specifically the kind used for baggage, parcels, or goods handed over to a carrier or service.

Vietnamese does not use articles the same way English does.

A bare noun like nhân viên can mean:

• a staff member
• the staff member
• sometimes even staff in a general sense

The exact meaning depends on context. Vietnamese often leaves this unstated unless it really needs to be specific.

By itself, nhân viên does not clearly show singular or plural.

Depending on context, it could mean:

• a staff member
• staff
• the employee
• employees

If you want to be explicit, Vietnamese can add words such as:

• một nhân viên = one staff member / an employee
• các nhân viên = the employees / employees
• những nhân viên = employees

Vietnamese verbs do not change form for tense the way English verbs do.

So truy tìm can mean:

• search for
• is searching for
• searched for
• will search for

The time is usually understood from context or shown with extra words such as:

• đã = past
• đang = ongoing
• sẽ = future

For example:

• Nhân viên đang truy tìm hành lý ký gửi. = The staff member is tracing the checked baggage.

It could be either, depending on context.

As a full sentence, it can mean something like:

• The staff member is tracing checked baggage.

But as a label, heading, or sign, it could also be understood as a noun phrase:

• checked-baggage tracing staff
• baggage tracing staff

This kind of ambiguity is common in Vietnamese because there are no articles and no verb inflections to force one reading.

No, not in this sentence.

Hành lý is commonly used without a classifier when talking about baggage in a general sense. That is very natural.

If you were counting individual pieces, you might use more specific words, for example:

• một kiện hành lý = one piece of baggage
• hai vali = two suitcases

But in hành lý ký gửi, no classifier is needed.

If read as a normal clause, the order is:

• nhân viên = subject
• truy tìm = verb
• hành lý ký gửi = object

So it follows a familiar Subject–Verb–Object pattern, much like English.

The main thing that may feel different to English speakers is inside the object: hành lý ký gửi, where the modifier comes after the noun.

A rough English-friendly pronunciation is:

• nhân viên ≈ nyuhn vee-en
• truy tìm ≈ chwee teem
• hành lý ≈ hahn lee
• ký gửi ≈ kee goo-ee or kee zhoo-ee, depending on accent

A few notes:

• nh sounds somewhat like the ny in canyon
• tr in many accents is stronger than English ch, but ch is a useful rough approximation
• gửi is hard to represent in English spelling; listening to native audio is very helpful here
• tones matter a lot, so pronunciation is best learned with audio rather than spelling alone

Yes, that is grammatically possible.

But the nuance changes:

• tìm = look for
• truy tìm = trace / track down / search for systematically

So nhân viên tìm hành lý ký gửi sounds more general, while nhân viên truy tìm hành lý ký gửi sounds more official or specialized, which fits airport lost-baggage situations better.
