VI
compared to the demand; relative to the need

The current budget is too small compared to the project's needs.
Etymology
This is a common Vietnamese prepositional phrase formed from three native Vietnamese words: 'so' (compare), 'với' (with), and 'nhu cầu' (need/demand), which entered common usage in everyday and formal Vietnamese by the 20th century.
Memory Aid
Break the phrase into parts: 'so' = compare + 'với' = with + 'nhu cầu' = need, so literally 'compare with need' which directly translates to the meaning 'compared to the need'.
