What does Dong really mean?

Alright, so "dong" can mean a few different things depending on the context.

First of all, "dong" can refer to a loud sound, like the bell donging at the end of the school day. It's kind of like a big, deep "bong" sound that you might hear from a really loud bell. It's the kind of sound that you can feel in your chest when it happens.

But "dong" can also be the name of a unit of currency in a few different countries. It's like the dollar or the euro, but it's called a "dong" in places like Vietnam. It's just a way to talk about money and how much things cost.

So, it's kind of like how "duck" can mean the animal or the action of bending down really quickly. "Dong" can mean the sound or the money, depending on how it's being used. Does that make sense?
