Cô ấy giữ quyền này.

Cô ấy means she and explicitly points to a particular woman already known in the conversation.

• cô by itself can mean aunt, miss/young woman, female teacher, or a way to address a woman, depending on context.
• Adding ấy makes it clearly third-person: that woman / she.

So in this sentence, cô ấy is the subject meaning she.

Vietnamese pronouns often carry social information. Cô usually refers to a woman who is:

• somewhat older than the speaker in some contexts,
• or a teacher,
• or simply an adult woman, depending on the relationship.

In many textbook-style sentences, cô ấy is just used as a convenient way to say she, but in real Vietnamese, the choice of pronoun depends heavily on age, status, and relationship.

So yes, it means she, but it is not as neutral as English she.

Giữ commonly means to keep, to hold, to retain, or to preserve.

In Cô ấy giữ quyền này, giữ suggests that she:

• keeps this right,
• retains this right,
• maintains this right,
• or continues to have control over it.

The exact English wording depends on context. It is not necessarily about physically holding something; it can also be abstract, as with rights, power, promises, rules, and positions.

Vietnamese basic word order is usually:

Subject + Verb + Object

So here:

• Cô ấy = subject
• giữ = verb
• quyền này = object

That gives:

Cô ấy giữ quyền này.
= She keeps/retains this right.

This is very similar to English word order.

Quyền means right, authority, power, or entitlement, depending on context.

In this sentence, it most likely means right in the sense of:

• a legal right,
• a moral right,
• an entitlement,
• or a claim to do something.

Vietnamese uses quyền for abstract rights, not for right as the opposite of left.

In Vietnamese, demonstratives like this and that usually come after the noun.

So:

• quyền này = this right
• quyền đó / quyền ấy = that right

This is a very common Vietnamese pattern:

• cuốn sách này = this book
• người đó = that person
• việc này = this matter

So này follows the noun it modifies.

Yes, potentially.

Quyền can refer to:

• a right,
• authority,
• power,
• privilege.

So without more context, quyền này could be understood in slightly different ways. If the provided meaning says this right, that is probably the intended reading, but learners should know that quyền is broader than just one English word.

Yes, it is grammatically natural, though it sounds a little context-dependent and somewhat formal or written.

A native speaker might say it in contexts involving:

• legal rights,
• authority,
• decision-making power,
• official statements.

In casual everyday conversation, people might choose a slightly different verb or phrasing depending on what kind of right is meant. But as a stand-alone sentence, it is perfectly correct.

Sometimes, yes.

Vietnamese often drops subjects when they are obvious from context. So if everyone already knows who is being discussed, a speaker might simply say:

Giữ quyền này.

However, without context, that could sound incomplete or ambiguous. Including cô ấy makes the sentence clear: she is the one who retains this right.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

cô ấy giữ quyền này
≈ koh ay zyu kwee-uhn nai

A few notes:

• cô has a mid-level tone.
• ấy has a rising-slightly broken tone in the North.
• giữ has a heavy glottalized tone and can be tricky.
• quyền is also not easy for English speakers because of the vowel combination.
• này has a rising tone.

The exact pronunciation differs somewhat between northern and southern Vietnamese, especially for sounds like giữ and tones.

Yes, a few things:

1. Pronouns are social

   • English she is neutral.
   • Vietnamese cô ấy carries relationship and age nuance.

2. Demonstratives come after nouns

   • English: this right
   • Vietnamese: quyền này

3. One Vietnamese word may map to several English words

   • giữ can be keep, hold, retain
   • quyền can be right, authority, power

4. Meaning depends strongly on context

   • The sentence is simple grammatically, but the exact nuance of giữ quyền này depends on what kind of right or authority is being discussed.
