Questions & Answers about Bác sĩ khám, chẩn đoán và điều trị cho bệnh nhân.
Why are there three verbs in a row: khám, chẩn đoán và điều trị?
This is normal in Vietnamese. The sentence lists a sequence of actions the doctor performs: examine, diagnose, and treat.
Vietnamese often puts verbs directly next to each other without needing extra helper words like to, then, or will. Here, the commas and và simply connect the actions in a natural list.
What does bác sĩ mean exactly?
Bác sĩ means doctor or physician. In this sentence, it is the subject: the person doing the actions.
- bác and sĩ do not usually get separated here
- together, bác sĩ is the standard word for a medical doctor
Why is there no word for the or a in the sentence?
Vietnamese does not use articles the way English does. There is no direct equivalent of a/an or the in many ordinary sentences.
So bác sĩ can mean:
- a doctor
- the doctor
- doctors
The exact meaning depends on context. The same is true for bệnh nhân, which can mean a patient, the patient, or patients, depending on the situation.
