phía sau
/fiə˧˦ saːw˧˧/
VI
behind; at the back; the back side
Chiếc xe đạp của tôi để phía sau nhà.
My bicycle is kept behind the house.
Etymology
It is formed from two native Vietnamese words: "phía" (direction/side) and "sau" (later/back), combined to refer to the back direction starting from early Vietnamese vocabulary development.
Memory Aid
Associate "phía" = side/direction, "sau" = back, so combining them directly gives the meaning of the back direction.
