Questions & Answers about Số tài khoản ở trong biểu mẫu.

Why is số tài khoản translated as account number?

In Vietnamese, the head noun often comes first, followed by a noun that specifies it.

• số = number
• tài khoản = account

So số tài khoản literally looks like number account, but in natural English we reverse it and say account number.

This is very common in Vietnamese:

• số điện thoại = phone number
• số nhà = house number
• thẻ căn cước = identity card

So the Vietnamese order is normal; you just should not translate it word-for-word into English.

What exactly does tài khoản mean here?

Tài khoản means account. Depending on context, it could mean:

• a bank account
• a user account
• an online account
• some other kind of registered account

By itself, số tài khoản usually means account number, often a bank account number if the context is financial. Vietnamese often relies on context more than English does.

Why is there no word for the or a?

Vietnamese does not have articles like a, an, and the in the same way English does.

So Số tài khoản ở trong biểu mẫu could mean:

• The account number is in the form
• An account number is in the form

Which one sounds best depends on context. Usually the situation tells you whether the noun is specific or general.
