Etymology

From Middle Vietnamese tlò. As shown by the Middle Vietnamese form and as well as usage of 路 (MC luH) as phonetic in Nôm texts, the earlier form of this word had initial cluster and can not be derived from 徒 (MC du).

Pronunciation

Noun

trò • (路, 󱙞, 󱼒, 徒, 𠻀)

  1. trick; artifice
  2. comedy; amusement
  3. play; game; facetiousness

Pronoun

trò • (路, 󱙞, 󱼒, 徒, 𠻀)

Usage notes
  • Although the use of trò as a pronoun is pretty much non-existent in current spoken Vietnamese as it is seen as too distant and formal, it is still commonly used and seen in translation works from other languages, especially Western literature.
