thật rất
/tʰət ʐɐ˧˩˧/
VI
really very; extremely
Bữa cơm hôm nay thật rất ngon.
Today's meal is really very delicious.
Etymology
Both "thật" and "rất" are native Vietnamese words. The combination of the two developed in modern spoken Vietnamese to add greater emphasis to an adjective or adverb beyond the intensity already conveyed by "rất".
Memory Aid
Memorize this as an emphatic pair: "thật" (truly) + "rất" (very) = truly very, which doubles down on intensity for descriptive statements.
