The word \”Trời\” has three main meanings in Vietnamese.
1. The first one is \”God\”.
Ôi trời ơi! = OMG
2. The second meaning is \”the sky\”
Trời xanh = a blue sky
Note: we often add a measure word \”bầu\” before \”trời\” in this case:
Phía trước là bầu trời.
There is a sky in front of us.
3. The final meaning is \”the weather\”.
We often say:
Hôm nay trời đẹp. = The weather is nice today.
Hôm nay trời nắng. = It\’s sunny today.
Trời mưa. = It\’s rain.
