Questions & Answers about Việc này gây nhiều vấn đề.
What does Việc này mean in this sentence?
Việc này means something like this matter, this issue, this thing, or this situation, depending on context.
- việc = a matter, task, affair, piece of business
- này = this
So Việc này is not always literally this job. In many contexts, it is broader and can refer to this whole matter or what we’re dealing with right now.
Why is này placed after việc instead of before it?
In Vietnamese, demonstratives like this and that usually come after the noun.
So:
- việc này = this matter
- vấn đề này = this problem
- người này = this person
This is the normal Vietnamese word order, even though in English we say this matter.
