It is not that hard. Nom is pretty much Chinese word meaning + Chinese word pronunciation. Though for foreign people it will be a challenge.

- numpad0 3y ago> Nom is pretty much Chinese word meaning + Chinese word pronunciation. Hard disagree, from a Japanese speaker standpoint. I suspect it's almost deliberate that any mixtures of Chu Nom and Chinese can be handled natively to Vietnamese speakers, and nobody else. Nothing in it makes sense to me, far less than Chinese text do.
- npn 3y ago> Nothing in it makes sense to me Understandable, because it was based on how it sounded, not based on the meaning of the compound characters. So it only makes sense for Vietnamese people. For example, from this wikipedia image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_vocabulary#/media/File:VietnameseVocabComparsion.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_vocabulary#/me... The first word "núi" (mountain) is made up of 山 and 內, 山 is the meaning of the word, and 內 is how it (mostly) sounds. Without knowing Vietnamese it is impossible to guess the meaning.
