Etymology

"Phải" comes from Old Vietnamese meaning obligation; "mua" derives from Proto-Vietic *muːʔ meaning to buy; "căn hộ" is a compound of Vietnamese "căn" (classifier for buildings) and "hộ" (household), referring to a residential unit in a multi-story building.

Memory Aid

Break down the phrase: "phải" = obligation, "mua" = buy, "căn hộ" = apartment unit, so link the phrase to the common life obligation of purchasing a home.
