What is BTW, and what does it abbreviate in English?
BTW stands for By The Way in English, which translates to 'by the way' in Vietnamese. This phrase can be used as a conjunction in cases where you want to mention something not very important.
BTW can be placed at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence to draw the reader into a different story, summarize and grasp additional information, content, or simply create a new topic.
For example:
- Hey, would you consider dropping by my birthday bash? (Hey, would you be able to swing by my birthday bash?).
- Not a fan of apples, but perhaps you could grab some ice cream instead? (I'm not a fan of apples, but how about grabbing some ice cream instead?).
- Not feeling too fond of your company. Oh, and don't forget to bring your gifts. (Not really feeling it with you. Oh, and don't forget to bring your gifts.)
