cà sa

Sino-Vietnamese word from 袈裟, Literary Chinese 袈裟 (jiāshā), transcribed from Sanskrit काषाय (kāṣāya). The Chinese characters were phonetically derived from Middle Chinese 加 (kˠa) and Middle Chinese 沙 compounding with Literary Chinese 衣 (“garment”).

Thứ nhất, cà sa xuất phát từ chữ 𣮫㲚 thời nhà Hán - phiên âm từ chữ काषाय (kāṣāya) trong Phạn ngữ. Đến đời nhà Tấn, đạo sĩ Cát Hồng (葛洪,283 - 343) đã đổi thành 袈裟 (cà sa) trong quyển Tự Uyển (字苑) rồi trở thành từ chuẩn mực cho đến ngày nay.

[2022 September 18, Vương Trung Hiếu, “Lắt léo chữ nghĩa: Nguồn gốc từ cà sa [Confusing Words: Etymology of cà sa]”, in Thanh niên [Youth]:

First, cà sa derives from 𣮫㲚, which is dated to the Han dynasty and was transcribed from काषाय (kāṣāya) in Sanskrit. By the Jin dynasty, the Taoist Ge Hong (葛洪, 283-343) changed the spelling to 袈裟 in the Ziyuan (字苑) and solidified it ever since.

nhất cự li, nhì tốc độ

head

nhất cự li, nhì tốc độ • (一距離、二速度)

vi-phrase

nhất cự li, nhì tốc độ • (一距離、二速度)

nhất (“first”) + cự li (“distance”) + nhì (“second”) + tốc độ (“speed”). Almost a Sino-Vietnamese phrase if it weren't for the non-Sino-Vietnamese nhì, and for the fact that this is a purely Vietnamese coinage. In fact, this pattern of "first", "second", etc., has nothing to do with Sino-Vietnamese-ness, as it occurs in various obviously non-Sino-Vietnamese proverbs, such as nhất nước, nhì phân, tam cần, tứ giống.

af

(literal) first comes distance/proximity, second comes speed

(figurative, usually humorous) if you wanna make a move on someone, get close to them first, then act quickly and swiftly

Nhân chữ Hán suy ra, tôi biết chữ Pháp rồi cũng thế. Cái trạng huống của văn học chữ Pháp ở nước ta mai sau ra thế nào, tôi có thể đoán biết từ hôm nay. Văn của ông Nguyễn Mạnh Tường hay của ông Phạm Duy Khiêm, mãi đến sau đây vài mươi năm rồi người ta sẽ tìm thấy nó pasfrançais cũng như văn cụ Sào Nam đã không được nhã thuần, của các quan Sử quán đời Tự Đức đã sai văn pháp! Thế thì sao người ta còn sính chữ Tây cũng như ngày xưa đã sính chữ Tàu?.

1939, Phan Khôi, Khái luận về văn học chữ Hán ở nước ta:

Looking at the [literature written in] Chinese characters, I know that French will also end up in the same place. The state of French literature in our country in the future is something I can predict from this very day. In some decades time, people will see the works of Nguyễn Mạnh Tường, or those by Phạm Duy Khiêm, for how unFrench they are, not unlike how unrefined the works of the old Sào Nam were, or how the officials at the Sử quán during the reign of Tự Đức made all those grammatical mistakes! So why do people still overvalue French like they were overvaluing Chinese in the old days?
