Derivation[edit]

Does this derive from Chinese 獎賞, 嘉獎, or 嘉賞? 71.66.97.228 23:17, 28 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

giải ("prize") is regarded as a native word which seems to be derived from the sense "ribbon" (Chữ Nôms 𦃿, 𦄂, ). It's possible that it is influenced by (SV gia) (or even derived from 嘉, with some changes in both final and tone). Hbrug 09:54, 5 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
