    What's the difference between thinh and muốn? Since they all represent the meaning of "want," it's distinguished while thinh is followed by a verb and muốn is followed by a noun, right?

      Are you talking about "thích"? "Thích" is "like."
      "Muốn" = "want."
      I'm not familiar with "thinh."

                "Cái for static things" and "Con for moving things" are two common classifiers i.e. articles in Vietnamese.
