简直 is an emphatic adverb meaning “simply / practically / almost like.” It strengthens a surprising or extreme description. Pay attention to tone and position: 简直 usually appears before the part it comments on or emphasizes, while some uses can start the whole sentence. It should match the communicative purpose: estimate, emphasis, surprise, final answer, explanation, correction, certainty, warning, or contrast. Do not use it just because one Vietnamese or English translation looks similar.
