Etymology 1

Undiphthongized equivalent of Northern vào.

The usage of vào (especially in writing) by speakers of Central-Southern dialects can be contributed to borrowing from Northern dialects. On the other hand, the undiphthongized Southern form with palatal initial latter spread to the Northern and Central dialects as an interjection.

Alternative forms

  • (Northern Vietnam) vào (with diphthongization)
  • (Southern Vietnam, pronunciation spelling)
  • (Southern Vietnam, pronunciation spelling) dzô
