Adjective

IPA: [naːj˧˧] [Hà-Nội], [naːj˧˧] [Huế], [naːj˧˧] [Hồ-Chí-Minh-City]
Etymology: Unknown. Perhaps from the "confused" look that deer in general exhibit. Perhaps popularized by the lines that describe "a confused deer walking on autumn leaves" from the poem Tiếng thu (“Sounds of Autumn”) by Lưu Trọng Lư, and subsequently the pop song Mắt nai cha cha cha (“Cha-Cha-Cha Deer Eyes”) which describes the innocence of young girls.
