Long-lasting means occurring continuously

Mối quan hệ lâu dài là xảy ra liên tục giữa hai người tin tưởng lẫn nhau.

A long-lasting relationship occurs continuously between two people who trust each other.

Etymology

"Lâu" comes from Old Vietnamese meaning "long in time", and "dài" originally meant "long in length"; the phrase "lâu dài" evolved to mean long-lasting in duration, with the addition defining it as continuous occurrence.

Memory Aid

Break the phrase: "lâu" = long time, "dài" = extended, "xảy ra liên tục" = happens non-stop → connect the two length ideas to remember it means continuous over a long time.
