quận

Meaning

1. district

   noun

   Until July 2025 Saigon was divided into districts, many of them numbered: quận 1, quận 3. The reform abolished districts as a level of government, but people still use the names for parts of the city; an address now names only the ward (phường) and the city.

   • Bạn ở quận mấy?

     Which district do you live in?

   • Quận 1 là trung tâm Sài Gòn.

     District 1 is the center of Saigon.
