    Default help translate this word in phrase

    Cai vay ddo trong cung de thuong va kin ddao.

    I understand the meaning of the statement but am confused with what the definition of trong (or chong?) is. Does it mean "looks like" or something like that?

    Thanks

    Cái váy đó trông cũng dễ thương và kín đáo ..

    = that skirt look cute and conservative

    but if you use it in this sentence then it means look like... cái váy đó trông như cái lều .. that skirt look like a tent .

    trông = also means to wait .. tôi đang trông tin của anh .. I am waiting for your news.

    chồng =husband

    trong =clear, nước trong quá the water is very clear , also means inside ở trong nhà = inside the house

    chong chóng =pinwheel

    chông gai = Spikes and thorns, difficulties, obstacles and dangers

    chông = * Spike
    o chông tre
    a bamboo spike
    o hầm chông
    a spike-trap
