| [khuây] |
| | to solace; to relieve; to alleviate |
| | Nghe nhạc cho khuây nỗi nhớ nhà |
| To solace one's homesickness with music |
| | " Cỏ có thơm mà dạ chẳng khuây " |
| The fragrant grass could not give solace to her heart |
| | Uống rượu cho khuây nỗi sầu |
| To drown one's sorrows in drink; To drink one's troubles away |
