ai biet nghia cua cum tu "mercy me" chi giup minh voi. Cam on nhieu...

Tôi không tin rằng có thể nói "mercy me" được, vì đây là tiếng danh từ có nghĩa là sự khoan hồng, thường dùng trong ý nghĩa xin giảm tội trạng v. v.....

TD: They were at the mercy of their captors. Also, at one's mercy.

"mercy me" may refer to a colloquialism of the US south similar to "Lord have mercy on me!" or "May the Lord have mercy on you." Sometimes this is reduced only to "Mercy me!" or "Mercy!"

Redshift,
Because it is reduced only to "Mercy me!" or "Mercy."

So, "mercy" still is a noun (not a verb) isn't it?
By the way, I like to confirm that it (mercy) has nothing to do with "merci" in French! No mix-up either!

I think that "Mercy, me." or "Mercy" would me more correctly categorized, as a part of speech, as an interjection - *"A word or expression that conveys surprise or another strong emotion. Alone, an interjection is usually punctuated with an exclamation point (!). As part of a sentence, an interjection is set off by a comma (or commas)."
*Hooray! I bowled a strike!
*Oh, they are late.
*(Simon & Schuster Handbook for Writers, ed. Troyka.)
It appears that classifying "Mercy, me!" as an interjection solves the problem as to whether or not to classify it as another part of speech -- such as a noun or verb.
Hope this has been helpful ;-)

Redshift,
I like the way you classify the term "mercy." Thanks.

I think I have heard this phrase "mercy me" somewhere. My first thought is that it means like begging for forgiveness.. something like that. I'm not sure ^^~
Anyway, discussing should have more than one idea to discuss,right?

[rukkhamula]

Strictly speaking, it is an exclamation and not an interjection, meaning something like 'Have mercy on me!'

But in Vietnamese it could probably be translated by 'Trời ơi!' or 'Chao ôi!'

It's an old-fashioned construction which is hardly ever used today. Much more common would be the following:

Oh my God!
Goodness me!
Good Heavens!
What the hell!

or other similar phrases.

An interjection is a sub-group of the exclamation group. Examples:

boo
hey
hi
oho
gee
yippee
