địa chủ
From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Etymology
Sino-Vietnamese word from 地主, composed of 地 (“land”) and 主 (“lord; master; owner”). Compare Japanese 地主 (jinushi; jishu; tokonushi).
Pronunciation
Noun
- (historical) a feudal landlord
Usage notes
- A địa chủ is only a feudal landlord, one who would own agricultural land, or plantations, and have other people work for him on that land. A modern "landlord" or "landlady" is simply chủ phòng/nhà trọ (literally “owner of the flats/apartments/houses for rent/lease”), one who owns real estate and rents it out to other people.
