So why is this điều and not việc? Betray is a verb

They are both right.

There are the same.

What's the difference between 'này' and 'điều này'?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/krikori

I think it's that you need a noun to go with này.
Cái này = this thing Điều này= this aforementioned thing

Weird sentence if someone betrays you they are not even remotely considering you support. I get the feeling that neither betray or support are good translations. Betray is used sparingly in english and if used as in this concept the reaction would be to condemn a stand alone negation.

Hi Huyen, Re a comment you made in the page previous to this.... how do you know when to use việc này, cái này or điều này? Does the "this' relate to specific categories?

In this sentence does we do not support this mean we cannot stand/bare this.

Ah, I get it now! It's a Google mistranslation resulting in the verb "to bear". I might say "i cannot bear to see them fail", but the mistranslation results in "support" like a load bearing supporting wall holds up the structure above it. I cannot support to see them fail... Errr No. Wrong.

Delete "support", insert "bear", and it works.
