/kənˈfɛs/ – verb
Definition: thú nhận, xưng tội.
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “confess” refers to the act of admitting or acknowledging one’s involvement or guilt in a crime or wrongdoing. It is a formal statement made by a person in which they admit to committing a criminal offense. Confessions can be used as evidence in legal proceedings to establish the guilt of the individual who made the confession.
Example: The suspect decided to confess to the crime during the police interrogation.
