Ví dụ
"But you are in second childhood, Michael," I tell myself. "Get used to it. Mustn't worry about sans eyes, sans teeth, sans everything.
Yes, he’s zinda dil. He’s in his second childhood. He’s impish (quỷ quái). He watches porn (phim heo). He smokes weed with his grandkids, he gambles, he cheats, cracks potty jokes, misbehaves with a woman… But when he loses his son, he changes. He sees his daughter-in-law suffering and tries to get the family together.
He was quite healthy for his age and extremely agile (nhanh nhẹn) and alert. When I asked him about his frugal (đạm bạc) diet, he said having reached his 80s he was in his second childhood and it was best to follow a child’s diet !
