biết

Etymology
Norman and Mei (1976), Schuessler (2007), Sagart (2008): Related to Min 🇨🇬 (proto-Min: *pat). The direction of borrowing is debated; Norman and Mei, and Schuessler favour an Austroasiatic origin for this word, and regard Min as a loan. Sagart, on the other hand, proposes that the sense “to know; to recognise” in both Min and Vietnamese is an extension of the sense “to differentiate; to separate” of (B-S), and hence treats V. biết as a, a semantic development shared with Min.

The word has mostly displaced the use of, the more commonly seen word for "to know" in older literature.

Also compare 🇨🇬 (Starling).

The Protestant biblical sense is a.
