"Anh ấy đã phản bội chúng tôi và chúng tôi không ủng hộ điều này."

Translation: He betrayed us and we do not support this.

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

[Huy_Ngo]

They are both right.

[AnLxoP]

There are the same.

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

[krikori]

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

[Michaelstelmo]

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?

[LostinVN]

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

[Chris-Owen]

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.

[Chris-Owen]

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