FOR NOW IN VIETNAMESE

In Vietnamese, the phrase “tạm thời” effectively communicates temporary situations or decisions.

It helps us express what is applicable at the moment but may change later.

TẠM THỜI… = FOR NOW

The expression “tạm thời” is often used as an adverb  to indicate something that is valid or applicable only for the time being.

PATTERN

Tạm thời, Subject + Verb

For example:

Tạm thời, tôi sẽ ở lại đâyFor now, I will stay here
Tạm thời, chúng ta không cần lo lắngFor now, we don’t need to worry
Tạm thời, cô ấy sẽ làm việc từ xaFor now, she will work remotely

TẠM THỜI LÀ VẬY! = JUST FOR NOW!

The phrase “tạm thời là vậy!” can be added at the end of a statement to emphasize acceptance of a temporary situation.

It’s similar to saying “that’s just how it is for now!” in English.
