Usage notes[edit]
Almost never occurs alone, unless in colloquially pithy utterances such as có nhiều hệ, như hệ A, hệ B, v.v. (“there are multiple systems, such as system A, system B, etc.”). Used as a prefix most of the time, in a syntactically native way. For a word for "system," use hệ thống instead.
