Nếu bạn thực
nɛwk̚ ˧˨ʔ baːn˧˧ tʰɨk̚˧˨
VI
An incomplete Vietnamese phrase that typically translates to "If you actually/ really..."
Nếu bạn thực sự muốn đi, tôi sẽ không cản trở bạn.
If you really want to go, I will not stop you.
Etymology
"Nếu" comes from Old Vietnamese meaning "if"; "bạn" originates from Proto-Vietic meaning "friend/you"; "thực" derives from Old Chinese meaning "actual/true". This is an incomplete phrase most commonly cut off from the full expression "Nếu bạn thực sự".
Memory Aid
Remember this as a partial phrase: "Nếu" = if, "bạn" = you, "thực" = actual/real, so it introduces a conditional statement about your true intentions.
