Vietnamese word: corruption?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So Anh NNT, what's tham nhũng 貪冗 in Vietnamese, is it corruption?

I've found this article on 24 May 04, the title was

Uỷ ban độc lập chống tham nhùng (ICAC): cơ quan chống tham nhũng hiệu quả của Dặc khu HK, Trung Quốc

Isn't it the same as " 貪污"?

Thank you very much!

tham nhũng 貪冗

tham ô 貪污

are synonyms in Vietnamese. The first one is just more used.

Such expressions as

tham quan ô lại 贪官污吏 are still used...

So if I say "tham quan" only, can people understand it as "貪官", or would they just think it as "參觀"?

He he; one is a verb, the other is a noun: the context will differentiate them. A sentence like tham quan đi tham quan is comprehensible (although it can be interpreted two ways, but that's playing on words)

But tham quan said "as is" by a tourist, would be more likely understood as "sightseeing".

Tôi chỉ có một diều mà không thích ở Việt Nam đó là tham quan.

Or do I have to make myself clearer by writing this instead:

Tôi chỉ có một diều mà không thích ở Việt Nam đó là tham quan du lịch.

You just have to say:

Tôi chỉ có một diều mà không thích ở Việt Nam đó là đi tham quan.

if you mean to go sightseeing.

Or

your solution : ...đó là tham quan du lịch is also perfectly clear.

Nowadays officials are no longer 官 but 干部
