Questions & Answers about Đi bộ mỗi sáng là thói quen tốt.
Why does đi bộ mean to walk? Isn’t đi already to go?
Yes, đi by itself usually means to go. But đi bộ is a fixed expression meaning to walk or to go on foot.
- đi = go
- bộ = on foot
So together, đi bộ specifically means moving by walking.
Examples:
- Tôi đi bộ đến trường. = I walk to school.
- Tôi thích đi bộ. = I like walking.
Why can đi bộ mỗi sáng come at the beginning of the sentence?
In Vietnamese, a verb phrase can often act as the subject of a sentence without any extra word. So đi bộ mỗi sáng functions like walking every morning in English.
Structure:
- Đi bộ mỗi sáng = walking every morning
- là = is
- thói quen tốt = a good habit
So the whole sentence is built like:
[Walking every morning] [is] [a good habit].
Vietnamese does not need a special ending like -ing to turn the action into a subject.
