“Trucks carry luck – every home is prosperous” – a common saying among truck drivers in Nguyen Van Linh Street, Ha Dong, Hanoi, embodies the dream of a prosperous life thanks to the “king of all vehicles.” But does everyone truly understand this powerful “companion”? Especially the correct use of the verb when talking about trucks: “trở” (turn) or “chở” (carry)?

“Trở” vs. “Chở”: Choosing the Right Word

To clarify for those who are still unsure whether a truck “trở hàng” (turns goods) or “chở hàng” (carries goods), let’s analyze the meanings of these two Vietnamese verbs:

“Trở” (Turn): According to the Vietnamese dictionary, “trở” means to change direction, rotate, or describe a change in state. Examples: trở mình (to turn over in bed), trở mặt (to turn against someone), trở trời (the weather changes)…
“Chở” (Carry): “Chở” represents the act of transporting or carrying something using a vehicle. Examples: chở hàng (to carry goods), chở khách (to carry passengers), chở bằng xe tải (to carry by truck)…

Clearly, “chở” (carry) is the appropriate word when referring to the transportation of goods by truck. In other words, “xe tải chở hàng” (truck carries goods) is grammatically correct and demonstrates an understanding of the transportation field.
