This test was easy.
'Dễ' likely derives from the Proto-Mon-Khmer term *dʒĩ, which denotes 'easy or simple.' It has consistently conveyed the concept of simplicity and ease in its historical usage.
'Dễ' is used in both spoken and written Vietnamese across various contexts. It is formal enough to appear in educational materials but also fits comfortably in casual conversations.
