Cách sử dụng
"Touch off" means to trigger or provoke a reaction or a series of events. For example, if someone says something offensive, it can touch off an argument. Or if a small spark touches off a pile of dry leaves, it can start a fire. It can be used in both formal and informal situations, but it's not a very common expression in everyday conversation.
