/ɗaː˧ˀ˥ tʰaːm˧˧ jaː˧˧/
VI
(past tense) have participated, have joined, took part
Tôi đã tham gia cuộc thi ảnh tháng trước.
I participated in the photo contest last month.
Etymology
"đã" is a native Vietnamese auxiliary word marking completed action, while "tham gia" comes from Sino-Vietnamese: "tham" (to enter) and "gia" (to join a group).
Memory Aid
Break the phrase into two parts: "đã" signals past action, "tham gia" means to enter into an activity, so together it simply means joined in the past.
