Etymology[edit]
mặt (“face”) + nạ; the second syllable is from Tai (cf. Proto-Tai *ʰnaːꟲ (“face”), whence Thai หน้า (nâa), Lao ໜ້າ (nā)).
Pronunciation[edit]
- (Hà Nội) IPA(key): [mat̚˧˨ʔ naː˧˨ʔ]
- (Huế) IPA(key): [mak̚˨˩ʔ naː˨˩ʔ]
- (Saigon) IPA(key): [mak̚˨˩˨ naː˨˩˨]
Noun[edit]

Usage notes[edit]
- Full-face "masks" are not typically thought of as the same as surgical "masks". For surgical masks, including those that are non-surgically, casually worn, use khẩu trang instead.
