2.2.1.4 Nominal relative clause
Nominal relative clause can function as direct object.
Ex: Ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for your
country.
Đừng hỏi Tổ quốc đã làm gì cho ta, mà hãy hỏi ta đã làm gì cho Tổ quốc
mình.

Or: I will ask whatever I don’t understand.
Tôi sẽ hỏi bất cứ điều gì tôi không hiểu.

Writers use word-for-word and literal translation in translating process. With the
direct object position, nominal relative clause stands after Verb and is translated
directly in Vietnamese equivanlence. Writers are careful in finding Vietnamese
equivalence because Wh-word in nominal relative clause doesn‘t bring question
meaning.
