MOREOVER IN VIETNAMESE
Moreover in Vietnamese can be expressed in two ways.
When you want to add information, reinforce points, and enhance their arguments, you can use the phrases “hơn nữa” and “ngoài ra”.
HƠN NỮA…
Hơn nữa means “furthermore” or “moreover.”
It is used to introduce additional information that supports or enhances the previous statement.

NGOÀI RA…
Ngoài ra means “moreover” or “besides/in addition.”
