mù • (瞙, 眓, 𪾤, 𥊦)

1. blind (unable to see)

   Synonyms: đui, khiếm thị

• mù, in a few contexts, can be considered an offensive term (as compared to a synonym as khiếm thị (“visually impaired”)). While đui is strictly offensive; chột (“one-eyed”) and câm (“mute”) are all offensive. Alternatives such as điếc (“deaf”) and khiếm thính (“hard-of-hearing”) might be preferable in many situations. This is especially so for điếc (“deaf”), because many among the Deaf Vietnamese community are reclaiming the term to accurately describe their subcultural-sociolinguistic identity.

• chột
• điếc
• câm

mù • (霧, 𩇅, 𩂟)

1. (usually in compounds) blinding

   tối mù

   blindly dark
