Meaning
Ý nghĩa: "Haven't you" có nghĩa là "Bạn chưa... phải không?" hoặc "Chẳng phải bạn đã...?" trong tiếng Việt. Nó được dùng khi người nói mong đợi câu trả lời là "có".
Cách dùng:
- Dùng để kiểm tra lại thông tin mà người nói nghĩ là đúng. Ví dụ: “Haven’t you finished your homework?” (Chẳng phải bạn đã làm xong bài tập về nhà rồi sao?)
- Sử dụng khi bạn muốn khẳng định điều gì đó mà bạn nghĩ là người kia đã làm. Ví dụ: “Haven’t you visited Paris?” (Chẳng phải bạn đã đến Paris rồi sao?)
Chú ý rằng "Haven’t you" thường được áp dụng trong ngữ cảnh thân mật hoặc khi người nói có mối quan hệ gần gũi với người nghe, vì nó mang tính chất xác nhận hơn là hỏi thông thường.

Writer's Note
So can you use "didn't" in place of "haven't"? "Haven't" and "didn't" differ because they inform us about time.
"Haven't" refers to the past up until now. So if you haven't done something, you haven't done it for a specific period of time; day, month, ever, etc.
"Didn't" refers to a specific point of time that has already passed.
- I _____ seen this movie before.
- She _____ get an oil change for her car yet.
- _____ he get a call for an audition?
- We _____ gone on a vacation in years.
- They _____ mean to hurt her feelings.
