My student : In Hoi An, I see a lot of ‘cơm’. There are many farmers working with ‘cơm’ right now.”
Me: “Actually… that’s called ‘lúa’.”
Student: what is ‘cơm’?
Me: Cơm is cooked rice. Like when we say: ‘Anh ăn cơm chưa?
Student: Ohhh, I see! Tomorrow I’ll buy ‘lúa’ for my wife to cook.
Me: No no no… you buy ‘gạo’, not ‘lúa’.
Lúa is still in the field.
Gạo is uncooked rice.
Cơm is cooked rice.
OMG...
