Long explanation:

The Vietnamese words 'băng' and 'đá' both refer to ice, but they are used in different contexts. 'Băng' refers to a solid state of water, such as frozen surfaces or frost. It is often used in expressions like 'băng giá' (ice cold) or 'băng tuyết' (snow and ice). On the other hand, 'đá' is used specifically for ice cubes or crushed ice, as you might find in a drink. Therefore, if you ask for a glass of water with 'đá', you're asking for a glass of water with ice cubes.
