Usually I will say: a k ngu som dc dau vi a dang o nha doi e ve.

Dc dau hmmm vs co ko. Ok thx bro. So dc dau is cannot huh. Never use this word before though I have seen it in sms before but just dunno how to use it in a sentence

if u realise their sms always say: dau co dau, co ... dau, etc, my guess is the dau at the end means "at all" or simply means something in the opposite. but it depends on the context la. it can be nhuc dau/ dau dau = headache.

i suggest u go try other vb. jackbl told me every vb will sms in their own unique way of language. i met some vb who gv me gen-z sms which crack my head deciphering.

for instance, some simpler ones:
nay chah wa z. nt k tl lun z thuj k lm phjen nua
a o vn bjo a ve. dd pun.

u know what she wan to say?:D

14 – Pronouns
========================
Here we go, pronouns: See lesson 13 if you’re confused

Tôi I
Bạn You
Chúng ta, chúng tôi, bọn mình We
Họ, chúng nó They
Cụ ấy, ông ấy, bác ấy, chú ấy, anh ấy, em ấy He
Cụ ấy, bà ấy, bác ấy, cô ấy, chị ấy, em ấy She
Nó It

ấy is added to some pronouns to create third person pronouns

This list is not comprehensive. There’re too many pronouns in Vietnamese....

15 – The Time Traveller – Past, Present, Future Tense
================================================== ================
There is no need to conjugate any verb, just add one of đã, đang, sẽ, định, mới in front of the verb and you have the correct tense.

•đã: past tense - subject + đã + verb – someone did something
•đang: present – subject + đang + verb – someone is doing something
•sẽ: future – subject + sẽ + verb – someone will do something
•định: someone plans to do something - subject + định + verb
•mới: someone just did something – subject + mới + verb

Tôi đã ăn cơm tối
I did eat dinner

Tôi đang học tiếng Việt
I am studying Vietnamese

Chị ấy sẽ đi chợ mua rau
She will go to the supermarket to buy vegetables

Ông định nghỉ hưu sớm
He plans to retire early

Kim Oanh mới đến Sydney
Kim Oanh just arrived in Sydney

Vietnamese is not exact or strict about verb tense. A lot of times, đã, đang, and sẽ are dropped from the sentence if a time is specified like hôm qua (yesterday – past), ngày mai (tomorrow – future), năm sau(next year). For more time marker, see the last part of Lesson 9

Hôm qua trời mưa rất to
Yesterday the sky rained very heavy
Yesterday it rained very heavily.


Ngày mai trời nắng lắm
tomorrow the sky sunny very
Tomorrow it will be very sunny.

Asking questions: Subject + đã/đang/sẽ/định/mới + verb + object + gì vậy (what)?
You can replace gì vậy (what) with other question words such as ở đâu (where), bao giờ/khi nào (when), như thế nào (how), etc.

Anh đang làm gì vậy?
You currently do what?
What are you doing?


Anh đang đọc email
I currently read email
I’m reading email.


Em định xem phim ở đâu?
You plan to watch movie where?
Where do you plan to watch movie?

Em định xem phim ở rạp AMC
I plan to watch movie at AMC

16 – Very – quá, rất, lắm
===================================
Using quá, rất & lắm to emphasize something is very common in Vietnamese.

Very + adjective = adjective + lắm

Bông hoa này đẹp lắm
Flower this beautiful very
This flower is very beautiful

like/want something + very much = subject + verb + object + lắm

Bà thích tập yoga lắm
She likes yoga very much

Rất is the same as lắm, but is placed before the adjective or verb: rất + adjective/verb

Mùa này mưa rất to
Season this rain very hard
This season, it rains very hard.


Ông rất thích đánh tennis
He very much like playing tennis
He likes playing tennis very much.

Quá is used to exlaim something, either very good, or very bad. It can be placed either before or after the adjective: adjective + quá or quá + adjective

Cái máy ảnh này bền quá
(classifier) camera this durable very
This camera is very durable!


Đôi giầy kia đắt quá
Pair of shoes that expensive too
That pair of shoes are too expensive!

If u know the meaning of bac ky, then u should be able to know nam tu,

Similar to north region, south land.

It was originally not meant to mean people" in the first, as u know that peeps from both sides are always on loggerheads, they started off as calling their fellow countrypeeps as bac ky, to show sarcasim, hostility.
Btw, the northern peeps hated those remarks, so they started calling "nam tu" for peeps from the south.

There is always a saying, learn to respect others and u will be respected eventually.

Info for others new to the viet culture, pls do not start calling peeps from the north as bac ky and think that u r very smart or very into their culture, it is considered a rude and crude remarks, try to use nguoi bac instead.

Respect others n u will be respected.

Didn't know the exact spelling. Just heard one if my vb said it before. "bluff cheebye", something like this. But she's not saying it to me. Also heard before "uong lon" (drink cheebye, or I presume "drink pussy juice??)

Luckily you added "TH = Tieng Hoa", else I would have thought when did I type Thai language...

Vietnam airline fined for in-flight bikini show

By Ben Mutzabaugh, USA TODAY
Updated 8/10/2012 10:14 AM

An airline in Vietnam has been fined for an in-flight bikini dance show that featured beauty queens strutting their stuff in the aircraft's aisle.

VietJet Air, a low-cost carrier of Vietnam, says it staged the event to help celebrate its Aug. 3 inaugural flight between Ho Chi Minh City and the tourist center of Nha Trang, according to Australia's News.com.au.

The Associated Press offers a colorful description, writing: "A YouTube video shows young women in open vests and red bikini tops gyrating in the aisle as gleeful male passengers snap photographs on the VietJet Air flight."

News.com.au says the "Hawaiian-themed" dance lasted about three minutes and featured five women who all are contestants in a local beauty pageant. The video shows passengers taking video of the dance. Later, dancers come down the aisle to mingle with passengers at their seats.

http://youtu.be/8kDhSgA4TGQ

"It was the first flight to a beach town, so we came up with the idea of getting a number of girls in bikinis to dance and make passengers happy to improve our customer service," a VietJet Air official was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail of London.

The show didn't go over well with Vietnamese regulators, however. Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) fined the airline 20 million Vietnamese dong – or about $960.

"They should have registered [with us] before they held the show," Nguyen Trong Thang, chief inspector of the agency, is quoted as saying by news24 of Australia. "This is the first time an airline has organized a bikini dance aboard a flight in Vietnam."

He added to AFP that the show "violated local aviation regulations" by putting together "an unapproved show on a flight."

However, despite the CAAV chief's comments, Business Traveller magazine writes "it's not the first time the carrier has organized a dance event on one of its flights."

Indeed, Business Traveller posts an video (dated January 2012) of VietJet Air crew doing a loosely choreographed dance performance on another flight. That, the magazine writes, suggests "the scantily-clad nature of this latest event has proved the biggest issue for Vietnamese authorities."

As for VietJet Air, the carrier launched service just this past December, becoming one of the first private airlines to begin flying in Vietnam.

Passenger opens emergency exist to easily get off airplane
================================================== =============

VietNamNet Bridge – An Airbus 321 of Vietnam Airlines had its sliding pontoon burst open when the plane just landed at Tan Son Nhat Airport in HCM City on August 25, when a passenger naturally opened an emergency door to “get off the plane easily.”

A representative of Vietnam Airlines confirmed the case, which happened on VN1265 flight on the afternoon of August 25.

According to Vietnam Airlines, the Airbus flew from Vinh city to HCM City. It landed at Tan Son Nhat Airport at 6.20pm. When the plane just ran into the platform, passengers and the crew started because a sliding pontoon suddenly burst open from an open emergency door.

A male passenger named Luu Ngoc Vinh was defined as the one who opened the door. The crew drew up a report and handed over the case to the southern airport authorities.

Vinh explained that he opened one more door for passengers to get off the plane easily.

After the incident, the plane had to stay for nearly nine hours for technical repair.

This is not the first time passengers opening emergency doors on aircrafts in Vietnam. Such incidents caused heavy losses for airlines because they had to delay many flights. The expenditure for rolling a sliding pontoon is up to $10,000/time.

According to the Vietnam Civil Aviation Administration, the maximal fine on opening emergency doors is VND20 million ($1,000).

Vietnamese men are “lazy, eager for drinking” in foreigners’ eyes
================================================== ==================

VietNamNet Bridge – “In HCM City, I always see men gather in groups in coffee shops, restaurants or pavement beer shops to drink before or after the office hours. Vietnamese men are too lazy,” commented Alex, an Australian.

Alex, a businessman who goes to Vietnam very often, said that anytime he went to Vietnam, he saw coffee shops or restaurants were occupied by groups of men before, during or after working hours.

He said: “Sometimes I looked at the clock, it was 6pm. It is the time for men to stay at home to help their wives and children. If they have babies, they have to help their wives more. Why do they spend their time to drink together?”

According to a research work on alcohol abuse in Vietnam, carried out by the Institute for Health Strategy and Policy, 63 percent of alcohol users are men. Intellectuals account for high ratio among them.

Vietnamese people consume around 1.3 billion liters of beer and more than 300 liters of alcohol annually, worth hundreds of thousand billion dong (hundred million USD).

After nearly one year living in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Henry, a French, said he still did not understand why Vietnamese men liked staying at coffee shops and restaurants to drink, not returning to their home.

Henry, who is manager of a famous resort in Vung Tau city, said that as a businessman, he had to see and drink with business partners but he was always aware of his wife and children waiting for him at home, so he tried to return home as soon as possible to help his wife with some housework.

“I asked many people and they said that it is very normal in Vietnam. While women are responsible for taking care of their family and children, their husbands only have to earn money. Many men plead their business requiring seeing and drinking with partners to not go home until midnight. If their wives ask them, they even insult and beat their wives.”

Henry, 37, said that he has some Vietnamese friends who got married and have children. Though these women outstandingly take care of and sacrifice themselves for their husbands and their children, but their families are not very happy.

“Any man who can marry them are lucky but my friends still complained that their husbands were not at home after work. If they go home, they only go to bed and they never clean house or wash dishes for their wives. Do they think that family belongs to only women?” Henry wondered.

Saigon is the called the “sleepless city”. Restaurants are fully occupied at night by mainly men. With several dried squids and a bottle of rice wine, they can spend their time until midnight.

At 11.20pm, a snail restaurant on D2 road, Binh Thanh district, HCM City was still overcrowded with a hundred men who were clinking glasses together.

The restaurant owner said that the restaurant opens from 4pm to 2am. It welcomes around 300 people each night, on average.

“Not only my restaurant, but also other restaurants in this city work the same way. After drinking, some are drunk and exchange blows. Some women coming here to recall their husbands were beaten by their men,” the restaurant owner said.

It is very popular to see coffee shops and restaurants overcrowded with men after working hours in Hanoi.

At around 4pm, beer shops along Tay Son Road, Dong Da District, Hanoi began to having customers. Though the working hours would end one hour later but beer shops had tens of men. On their tables, there were 5-7 glasses of beer and several plates of roasted peanuts and grilled squids.

From 5pm, more men went to these beer shops. Each of them entered beer shops with a briefcase on their hands. Many people still wore staff cards. After a glass of beer, their stories became very lively and their voices began being loudly. They even talked about their love and sex affairs.

At over 6pm, restaurants along Le Duc Tho Road, My Dinh, Hanoi became extremely bustling. This was the best time for customers to go to restaurants. The adjacent My Dinh Square also entered the golden time of business. Besides male students, there were a large number of office employees. They came in groups, chose a table, ordered several cups of ice tea, a dish of roasted sunflower seeds or a dish of fruit and began chatting until midnight.

On a sedge mat on a grassplot of My Dinh Square, five men of over 30 years old ordered a bottle of rice alcohol, a grilled squid and began to chat.

One man began by telling others that his firm had just signed a big contract and he believed that he would be paid high commission. After that, another man said a group of on-the-job trainees had just come to his company and he was assigned to instruct a pretty girl.

While they were chatting very noisily, two cell phones suddenly rang. The two men immediately lowered their voices: “I’m busy at work. I’ll come home late.” “I’m stuck. I’m going home in several minutes.” One of them suddenly remembered that he forgot to pick up his son from kindergarten. The group quickly dissolved.

not exactly.....but this "vay" in your qn here means more like a continuation of a sentence or qn that you have communicated with her earlier.

e.g.
VB: hnay a ranh hok
yummyymym: xl, hnay a ko ranh, tai vi a fai di choi voi ny khac
VB: vay hom nao a lai gap e dc ko

the "vay" in this case means, she knows that you not free to meet by using "vay", so she follow on by asking "hom nao a lai gap e dc ko".

Vietnam ranks the third in South East Asia in Internet development
================================================== =================

VietNamNet Bridge – Experts believe that Vietnam is in no way inferior to developed countries in term of Internet service development.

Everyone can access to Internet easily and conveniently anywhere and anytime. All modern technologies have been applied in Vietnam, from 3G to satellite, fiber optic cable with low charges. The percentage of people using Internet services has been increasing rapidly. Many social networks have appeared with millions of members.

All the factors can serve as clear evidences showing that Vietnamese people now can enjoy the latest technological inventions of the humans, and that the Internet service development in Vietnam is in no way inferior to developed countries in the world.

Le Nam Thang, Deputy Minister of Information and Communication said at a recent meeting with the Vietnam Internet Association’s members that Vietnam now is in the top 3 in South East Asia, after Singapore and Malaysia in terms of infrastructure and Internet-based services. Meanwhile, Vietnam has equal terms, or has advantages over Thailand and Indonesia in some sectors.

“In 2011, when I paid working visits to some European, North American and Asian countries, I found out that Internet services here were not ready everywhere, from home, offices to public points like in Vietnam,” Thang said.

In terms of the development of the content and Internet-based services, Vietnam has also made a big leap over the last few years. Zing Me, or Go.vn are the made-in-Vietnam social networks which have attracted millions of members.

However, Thang said, some problems still exist, including the safety, information security, the service quality and the undiversified contents.

Sharing the same view with Thang, Mai Liem Truc, former Deputy Minister of Post and Telematics affirmed that Vietnam is in no way inferior to developed countries in the world.

Truc said all the most advanced technologies have been utilized in Vietnam, from 3G, 4G to optic fiber cable or satellite.

Regarding the popularity of the services, Truc said Vietnam is on the same level with other countries. Meanwhile, Internet and telecommunication charges in Vietnam are the cheapest in the world.

“You will not be able to access wifi Internet in a convenient way and enjoy the low charges elsewhere in the world, except Vietnam,” Truc said.

PC World New Zealand website (pcworld.co.zn) on August 30 posted a story on the blog of Juha Saarinen, a reporter, saying that it is very convenient and cheap for foreign travelers to use wifi and 3G services in Vietnam.

The reporter wrote that Vietnam is wonderful not only because of the tropical climate and special food, but also because of its development strategy by developing technologies.

He wrote that in Vietnam, he could find wifi service everywhere, and he could use wifi free of charge, because hotels and café offer free wifi service to attract clients. Besides, 3G is also very cheap and good. Foreign travelers could use 3G services easily if they buy a prepaid simcard at 65,000 dong, or just four New Zealand dollars.

When the reporter was in Vietnam, he used Viettel’s services. However, Viettel is not the only the only 3G service provider in Vietnam. One would be able to enjoy the low fee charges under the sales promotion programs regularly launched by other big network operators such as MobiFone, VinaPhone or Vietnamobile.

There are the low cost 3G packages with the fee of 120,000-150,000 dong for 1.5-5GB capacity. Meanwhile, if wanting to use high speed 3G service, one would have to pay 10 NZ dollars, or 168,000 Vietnam dong.

The reporter from PC Word wishes a Vietnamese telecommunication company would come to New Zealand to provide services to help slash the service charges in the expensive market.

Vietnam ready to celebrate National Day
================================================== =====
Vietnam is now ready to celebrate the 67th anniversary of National Day on September 2nd. A variety of entertainment activities in big cities promises to bring many choices to nationals and tourists over the holiday.

The world’s largest film network, Future Shorts, will kick off a series of cultural events in Hanoi during the holiday with its screening from 7 – 11 pm on August 31 at the Boombox Lounge at 1 Nguyen Khac Can Street. The event will showcase numerous short films by directors from around the world including Grant Orchard's "A Morning Stroll", Mihai Grecu’s experimental documentary "We'll Become Oil", and Will Madden’s stop-motion animated "Notes on Biology.” Tickets cost VND100,000 (US$5) and include one free drink.

A highlight to mark the national holiday is a concert titled “Dieu Con Mai” (Everlasting Things). At the show to be held at 2pm on September 2 at the Hanoi Opera House, well-known singers including Thanh Lam, Hong Nhung, My Linh, and Trong Tan will join together to perform with the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Le Phi Phi. “Dieu Con Mai” will be broadcast live on VTV1.

Also that day, the HCMC Circus Troupe will perform at Hai Ba Trung District’s Central Circus as part of its tour around northern provinces, which began August 24. In their shows, artists will perform routines that have been included at international circus festivals. Tickets costing from VND120,000 to VND 300,00 are available at the venue.

For fans of fine art, galleries and exhibitions in the capital will be good destinations for their holiday. An exhibition featuring 3D photos and videos depicting Hanoi at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century is taking place at 45 Trang Tien Street. “Hanoi through The Lens of Time” displays around 100 3D works divided into three topics: Hanoi’s ancient streets, Hanoi’s architectural heritage, and Hanoians’ lifestyle. The exhibition will run until September 4.

An indispensable activity for the holiday is a fireworks display. A performance will take place on the night of September 2 in four of Hanoi’s districts, including Hoan Kiem, Tay Ho, Hai Ba Trung and Ha Dong.

For those who like to enjoy an outdoor atmosphere, the Hang Bong night market, which will take place from Friday to Sunday, is probably a good choice. Besides offering many kinds of goods, the market near Sword Lake will also showcase a variety of local street foods, promising to bring visitors an interesting experience in local cuisine culture.

Meanwhile, Vietnam’s most populous city, Ho Chi Minh City, will also welcome the holiday in its own way.

104 of the best photos chosen from 1,594 entries of the 37th HCMC Art Photograph Festival 2012 will be displayed at the HCMC Photography Association at 122 Suong Nguyet Anh Street starting September 1. The photos depict the country and its people as well as outstanding construction works across the country under the themes of “Freedom” and “New Rural Area.”

French photographer Yan Lerval’s ongoing exhibition featuring 24 photos about Saigon kids is also a nice consideration. Themed "Saigon Kids", the exhibition is in honor of the work of KOTO, a not-for-profit hospitality training organization that is changing the lives of street and disadvantaged youth in Vietnam. Pictures are on sale until September 16 at My Place restaurant, 195 Dien Bien Phu, District 3 and all profits will be donated to KOTO.

Dong Lan, a talented contestant from the current popular reality show “The Voice of Vietnam”, will add more colors to the holiday through her show titled "Je t’aime" at We Lounge on District 3’s Le Quy Don Street on September 1. The performer, who has impressed The Voice’s jury and audiences with her bohemian style and unique voice, will sing original tracks including "Chú Cừu Nhỏ" (Little Sheep), "Sợ Chết" (Scared of Death) and other songs from her upcoming album. Tickets cost VND300,000 and are available at the venue.

One day later, September’s live show of the Vietnamese Billboard chart “Bai Hat Yeu Thich”(Favorite Songs) will be held at Lan Anh Stage at 291 Cach Mang Thang 8 Street, offering more choices for locals. The show will feature numerous well-known young voices like Uyen Linh, Van Mai Huong, Quuoc Thien, Noo Phuoc Thinh and Dinh Manh Ninh. It will take place at 9pm and be broadcast live on VTV3.

Like Hanoi, HCMC will also have fireworks performances at 9pm on September 2 at the Thu Thiem Tunnel area in District 2 and Dam Sen Park in District 11.

In addition, Dam Sen theme park will offer many programs for its visitors on September 1 and 2, including comedic shows, music performances, and drama plays for children.

Elsewhere, the central coastal province of Binh Thuan is also hosting the International Hot Air Balloon Festival, which is being organized in Vietnam for the first time ever. Besides hot-air balloon performances, the event, themed “Bien Xanh – Cat Trang – Nang Vang” (Blue Sea, White Sand and Yellow Sunlight), will consist of multiple activities including a trade fair, cuisine festival, flower garlands and colored lanterns festival, photo exhibition, kite surfing performances, dragon dances and street music shows.

Moreover, many blockbusters including “Painted Skin 2,” “The Odd Life of Timothy Green,” “Paranormal” and “The Lucky One” are being screened at cinemas across the country and will bring relaxing and joyous moments to movie fans.

Kieu hoi flowing in, intellectuals flowing out of Vietnam
================================================== =============
VietNamNet Bridge – The “brain-drain” has become a very big headache to Vietnam. A recent survey shows the relation between the brain-drain and the kieu hoi (overseas remittance).


High quality personnel leave the country

Statistics show that about 400,000 intellectuals, of which 25 percent are Vietnamese students, are living and working overseas.

A survey by IIE, an international education institute showed that up to 60 or 70 percent of Vietnamese overseas students intend to stay working in foreign countries after they finish the university education in the countries. 90 percent of the students attend the training courses with their own money, not with the funds provided by the state.

Every year, about 80,000 Vietnamese workers go working abroad.

The Vietnamese intellectuals, the students, who stay working in foreign countries after finishing schools and the workers going abroad every year, can all be the sources of overseas remittance to Vietnam.

The Vietnamese intellectual community mostly gathers in the US, Western Europe, Russia and East Europe – where there are developed economies. Here they can have high income and can send money to Vietnam to their relatives to help them improve the living standards.

Economists have pointed out the relation between the brain-drain, or the leave of Vietnamese intellectuals and the cash flow to Vietnam. In return for the decision to stay working in foreign countries, overseas Vietnamese have made great contribution to the development of the homeland via kieu hoi. Observers have reported a growing tendency of the Vietnamese people community to make investment in the projects in the homeland.

The “intelligence” would “repatriate”

According to the HCM City Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, in the last six years, from June 2005 to June 2011, the number of Viet Kieu owned enterprises has increased by two folds which have the total chartered capital of 37 trillion dong.

It is estimated that 500,000 Viet Kieu visits the homeland every year, not only to meet their relatives, but also seek the investment opportunities. Reports show that 52 percent of the kieu hoi were injected in the Vietnamese real estate market in 2011.

A report by the World Bank released in 2011 showed that Vietnam ranks the 16th in the world and the second in South East Asia among the biggest overseas remittance receivers.

In 2001, only 1.75 billion dollars worth of kieu hoi were remitted to Vietnam, while the figure jumped to 9 billion dollars in 2011.

With the kieu hoi, Vietnamese families have more money and favorable conditions to ensure high education for their children. A lot of Vietnamese parents tend to send their children abroad to prestigious universities.

At first, this could be seen as a “brain drain movement,” which experts believe would do harm to the nation. However, if looking at the issue more carefully, one would realize that the presence of Vietnamese talented people in foreign countries does not always mean that Vietnam loses its intelligence. In fact, the intelligence, in some way or others, would come back to the homeland.

Every individual has the aspiration of living and working in the environment most suitable to him. Viet Kieu can make their contribution to the development of the homeland from everywhere, no matter if they are in Vietnam or any other countries.

Therefore, turning the brain drain into brain circulation, while trying to attract kieu hoi should be set up as an important task for now.

In the first six months of 2012, HCM City saw the decrease of 500 million dollars in kieu hoi in comparison with the same period of the last year. However, the bad news could turn into the driving force for Vietnam to change its viewpoint and policies about the brain drain, so as to pave the way for the talented people and the source of foreign currencies amounting to 7.26 percent of GDP in 2011 to return to the homeland

Dictionary
================
If you need to look up a word during your Vietnamese study, there are many free, online dictionaries

•Vdict.com
•VNdic.com
•VietDictionary.com


Each site’s layout is slightly different but the content is similar. I personally use vdict.com just because I know it first.

Tip for looking up the English equivalents of Vietnamese words (mostly for intermediate learners):

•English words can have multiple syllables but all syllables are written together into one word. For example: together is one word made up of 3 syllables to-get-(t)her

•Vietnamese words can have 1 or multiple syllables. Each syllable is a word with its own meaning, but together with another syllable/word, they make another word with another meaning.

•Example: học – to study; giả – fake –> học giả = a scholar. Dòng – a string/stream; dõi – to follow something –> dòng dõi = lineage

•If you are new to Vietnamese, and you’re looking up a word in this newspaper headline Phó tổng thống Mỹ tới thăm Trung Quốc, how can you tell which word has one syllable? which has multiple syllables?

•If you’re new and have no clue, first try looking up each syllable from left to right, then, when you put together the meaning of the single syllable and they don’t make sense, try to look up two syllables together.

•For example, with that headline above, a look up for single syllable word would yield this:

•Phó tổng thống Mỹ tới thăm Trung Quốc
deputy total (no entry) USA come visit China

Now you have the deputy tổng thống of USA come visit China. Look up tổng thống = president –> the deputy president? he’s the vice president + of USA = the American vice-president (currently Joe Biden) –> The American vice president paid a visit to China
Don’t worry about this if you’re new. You will only have this problem when you’re seriously learning Vietnamese and realize that you have serious trouble looking up Viet words because they don’t make sense

Cheers!

33 – Nouns – possession – what belong to whom – của
================================================== ==============

Use của to say something belong to somebody: của roughly means “of” or “belong to” or the “‘s” (Tom’s, Harry’s, Mary’s) in English
object + của + owner

bạn gái của anh ấy
friend girl of he
his girlfriend

con mèo của bà
(classifier) cat of she (old lady)
her cat

chiếc nhẫn của Frodo
(classifier) ring of Frodo
Frodo’s ring

cung điện Buckingham của Anh
palace Buckingham of England


To get “my, his, her, our, their” put của in front of the respective pronouns (see # 14 – Pronouns)

object của tôi my
của anh ấy, ông ấy, chú ấy, bác ấy his
của chị ấy, bà ấy, cô ấy, bác ấy her
của chúng tôi, chúng ta, chúng mình our
của chúng nó, họ their

If it’s a family member, family member + owner or family member + owner’s name is more commonly used.

ba má tôi
dad mom my
my mom & dad

gia đình Hoa
family Hoa’s
Hoa’s family

Note for more advanced learners:
This can be confusing when it comes to people.

For example, Lan’s older sister is chị của Lan or if the context is clear, chị Lan

In # 13 “How to Address People and Yourself,” chị Lan can also mean Lan the girl herself, since if Lan is older than you, you add chị in front of Lan’s name to show respect.

Don’t worry about this for now if you just started. Use của to avoid confusion.

34 – Nouns – classifiers
=================================
Classifiers are used with nouns to count things in Vietnamese. The structure is the quantity + classifier + noun. There are many classifiers in Vietnamese, but the 2 that you will use the most are cái + things and con + animal/living things. Example:

Một con vịt
1 classifier duck

hai cái điện thoại di động
2 classifier telephone mobile


Some other useful classifiers: quả + fruit, cuốn sách (book), quyển vở (notebook), tờ báo (magazine, newspaper).

35 – Nouns – putting it all together
==================================================

Now that you know how to use Vietnamese nouns, let’s put it all together. Here’s the structure:

quantity + classifier + noun + adjective + của + owner

If you need a review, re-read lesson 32 (adjectives and characteristics), lesson 33 (possession – của), and lesson 34 (classifier). Guess what the following phrase is about:

một chiếc áo khoác màu đỏ của cô bé
1 classifier coat red of the little girl

hai cô bạn hay ghen
2 girl friend often jealous

In a sentence or question, all the structures above go together with the noun: subject (noun) + verb + object (noun)

Ba tòa biệt thự ở hồ Tây của bác giá bao nhiêu tiền?
3 classifier mansion in West Lake of you price how much money?
What is the price of your 3 mansions in the West Lake (neighborhood)?

Mỗi tòa biệt thự đó giá một triệu đô
Each (classifier) mansion that price 1 million dollar
Each of those mansion is a million dollar.

Ho Chi Minh City’s top 100 list not so interesting
================================================== ========

The Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Culture, Sport and Tourism has recently announced a 20-catefory list featuring 100 interesting facts about Vietnam’s most populous city. However, to many, the list is too long and boring.


The “HCMC – 100 Interesting Facts” list which is the result of a poll launched by the department includes typical landmarks like museums, historical and cultural sites, traditional markets, nightlife and entertainment venues, food, special cultural, sports and tourism events, shopping places, and typical souvenirs...

However, to many people, many “interesting” things that were listed are not so interesting.

Water puppet shows not included

The 100 interesting facts include five typical convention centers and five typical transportation operators, which organizers call an improvement compared with a similar list launched by the department in 2010. The two categories have raised objections from those who say they don’t find transportation means and convention venues interesting.

“Tourists will not care about the places people hold meetings,” said Ton Nu Thi Ninh, former Deputy Head of the National Assembly’s Committee on Foreign Affairs and former Vietnamese Ambassador to the EU.

Huynh Minh Son, CEO of local APEC tourism company told Phap Luat Newspaper that listing transportation operators is not necessary since international tourists coming to Vietnam have their own tour operators who will take care of their travel.

Nguyen Viet Anh, head of a travel management section from the city’s Department of Culture, Sport and Tourism disagreed.

“Tourists coming to the city need taxis to travel while unlicensed cabs in Vietnam are really causing a mess. That’s why we bring typical transportation operators into the list,” he explained.

The list consists of “five typical luxury hotels”, on top of “five luxury hotels for businessmen”. The two categories are roughly the same.

Meanwhile, some opinions expressed that the list lacks cultural values as well as services which tourists really need.

According to Huynh Minh Son, there are many listed places where local tour agencies rarely take their customers to.

“For example, in the category of night entertainment, there’s little likelihood that foreign tourists visiting HCMC would come to cinemas [Megastar cinema chain is in the list]. 90% of Japanese tourists coming here via our company like to watch Vietnamese water puppet shows which were not listed,” he stated.

Ton Nu Thi Ninh also agreed “The poll’s organizers should have listened to people’s opinions and eliminated unnecessary things”.

“I think we should list five typical charity foundations or five typical galleries. Many tourists coming to Vietnam buy paintings as well as do charity,” she added.

100 interesting facts or PR trick?

After two months, the organizers received 35,000 votes from local residents and tourists visiting the city through surveys handed out at malls, entertainment places around the city and via the website www.saigon100dieuthuvi.vn.

However, the fact that local tourism and service enterprises can nominate themselves to the list has raised doubts that the poll was a golden opportunity for PR.

“The list does not impress me… I agree with many people saying the poll is a way for enterprises to polish their reputation”, historian Nguyen Nha told Phap Luat.

According to Nguyen Thi Hong, deputy chairperson of the city People’s Committee, the poll aims to introduce the city’s unique tourism products that bear cultural values to domestic and international tourists, as well as to encourage local tourism enterprises to improve their products.

Too long

Some people wonder how the authorities could promote the list to tourists.

Director of a local travel agency said that 100 is big number and hard for tourists to remember. “I don’t need 100 interesting things, if I were a tourist, I would like to know where to go, what to eat and buy. That’s enough. There’s no need to go for 100,” he added.

In response, the cultural department informed that it will produce brochures, leaflets and video clips about the list’s 100 facts and send them to local travel agencies to hand over to their customers, as well as to foreign consulates in HCMC.

They also plan to make a short film on the ‘100 Interesting Facts’ and show it on Vietnam Airlines flights.

Smoker’s paradise
=============================
To someone who has never smoked a cigarette in their life, living in Saigon can be a trying experience. Cigarettes are everywhere, and it seems that nearly every Vietnamese male in the city smokes constantly. This is a far cry from back in the US.


To be sure, there are plenty of smokers in America, 46 million of them, according to some estimates. However, even with such a huge number of smokers, you don’t run into clouds of cigarette smoke as often as you do in Saigon. There are several reasons for this.

First, it is considered rude to light up around non-smokers. Many people will ask if those around them mind if they smoke, and they will be sure not to exhale in their direction. The negative health effects of second-hand smoke are common knowledge, so common courtesy dictates that a smoker shouldn’t blow cigarette smoke at people, especially children. That courtesy doesn’t exist here. Xe om drivers blast clouds of smoke at you while waiting at red lights, and patrons at restaurants blow smoke over their shoulder and right into our face in order to avoid blowing it on their own food. Men (and it is always men here) smoke with babies on their laps.

Second, as the potentially deadly side effects of smoking have become better understood, many American cities and states have passed laws governing where people can smoke. Many cities have banned cigarettes from restaurants and basically any indoor area besides certain bars. In some places the only location someone can legally smoke a cigarette is outside. As a non-smoker, I love these laws. Cigarette smoke hurts your eyes, smells terrible, and makes your food less enjoyable. Smoke-free restaurants are fantastic, and few things are more disgusting than eating a meal in Saigon while eight people at the table next to you are chain-smoking. A small handful of restaurants here are smoke-free, but they are few and far between, and mostly expensive downtown eateries. Your standard Vietnamese restaurant often looks like it is on fire thanks to all the cigarette smoke.

Cigarettes are also very expensive in the US thanks to taxes. Progressive cities like New York have tried to deter people from smoking by making it financially ruinous. In NYC a pack of smokes costs over US$10, and a carton costs nearly $100, and other major cities aren’t far behind. From what my friends tell me, in Saigon a pack of cigarettes can cost less than $1. Why would anyone quit smoking when it’s so insanely cheap?

Saigon, then, seems to be a smoker’s paradise. You can do it everywhere, it’s absurdly cheap, and no one will tell you not to do it around them. I can only imagine how many people suffer from lung cancer or other smoking-related diseases here. If something were done to reduce the prevalence of smoking in Saigon it would make this a more pleasant, not to mention healthier, place to live. I don’t see anything of the sort being done anytime soon though, so I guess that dream will go up in smoke.

Scary images, scary cigarettes
=============================================
I’ve been smoking for a long time, therefore I really appreciate foreign cigarette packs which my son usually gives me whenever he returns to Vietnam to pay us a visit.

Last July, my son gave me a cigarette pack he had bought in Taiwan. However, I had to deprive myself from enjoying those Taiwanese cigarettes due to the scary images on its packaging, which featured on one side a woman carrying her child in her right arm while her left arm covered her mouth; the cancerous heart of a smoker was shown on the other side.

My son told me that these images were the least scary ones. It is no wonder that on his trips to Hong Kong and Thailand the scary images printed on packets of cigarette caused him not to buy cigarettes as a present for me.

Yet he bought foreign cigarette manufactured in Vietnam for his friends upon his departure. He reasoned that on these cigarette packs there are only recommendations against smoking printed in Vietnamese, and in a very small size at that, so hardly anybody takes notice of them.

It is obvious that smokers do not use only their mouth to smoke, but also their eyes. Consequently, in many countries around the world, such “impressive” packets of cigarettes seem to be very efficient in demonstrating the damaging effect of smoking, as well as reducing the number of smokers.

Whereas in Vietnam, the recommendations on cigarette packs are no longer effective. Shouldn’t they be replaced by scary images in order to reduce the number of smokers?

At present, tobacco companies in 43 countries are forced to print graphic warning images about the damaging effects of cigarettes on their products. This is considered to be an efficient solution aimed at reducing the number of smokers.

A survey carried out by the World Health Organization showed that the majority of smokers pay attention to these images, and more than 25% of them consider stopping smoking. In another study, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US found that about 25 to 50% of smokers said these images are capable of making them stop smoking.

Who’s cheating who?
============================
The first time I cheated in elementary school, I thought, ‘this is easy’; the second time my teacher gave me a completely different test – he knew – and I was trapped. My mother was horrified and punished me with no TV for a week, I had to make my own dinner, and was given no pocket money for a month. Lots of kids like me went through this ‘lesson’.


Cheating results in serious consequences in the world outside education. For example, managers and leaders who fake qualifications and lack the ability to deal with the true needs of their communities, engineers and technicians who don’t study properly so infrastructure projects fail or are sub-standard, or business and government revenues suffer as people ‘skip’ procedures and pay for ‘short cuts’.

The other disturbing consequence is the act of the ‘cover-up’ – schools producing clearly impossible pass rates or hotel department managers claiming highly improbable success rates for their staff. The more the training and educational achievement data gets distorted, the harder it becomes to plan and budget for educational development.

In Australia, we have quite strict rules for examinations with strong forms of punishment. However this is not the only form of assessment, and learning is designed to develop confidence in showing skills and knowledge regardless of the form of examination. By constantly assessing and teaching students to adapt and use their education in many different ways, one major exam doesn’t play such a big part in the final marks.

As a boy I remember our regular teachers would conduct spelling, writing and comprehension tests, but our big tests were overseen by a teacher from another class. Through the years the tests became harder and stricter, no referring to notes or textbooks, and the questions more formal with a wider variety of ways to answer.

Among these, gap questions, ‘close’ quizzes, hypothesis questions (eg: if Simon has three eggs and Frank has two…) and then essays – both persuasive and opinionative. Penalties, even as kids, were harsh – detention, informing our parents and the dreaded ‘talk with the headmaster’. By high school, these included deductions from your marks for cheating or copying – plagiarism could even lead to school expulsion – and our teachers know all the texts very well. The rules were and still are strict: no talking, chatting or disruptive behavior during examinations – use a mobile phone and you’re out! No bags or extra papers, and the teachers used to check our sleeves and hands for notes on our skin!

The rules, the same as for the ‘Higher School Certificate’, at Grade 12, were very strict. Exam papers were under guard and only delivered to exam centers one or two days before the tests. Each center has a senior teacher or department officer to oversee the staff on the day.

Teachers from other schools or middle-aged people with responsible jobs were paid to be observers and conductors of the exams. All bags were guarded outside the exam room and each student was checked, once they sat down, for materials on the tables.
If you cheated, your paper was cancelled and you were escorted from the room immediately, the same if you passed notes or chatted with other students. I remember one girl at university screaming as she was dragged from the room for calling a friend on her phone! She wasn’t allowed to sit the exam again for another year!

In recent years, with mobile phones, iPads and other technology, it’s become even stricter. Like in an airplane, all phones off, in a bag and not in the room. While some allow phones in your pocket, to prevent theft, it’s up to a $400 fine if you are caught using a phone, or even having it switched on, during university exams in Australia!

These rules are publicly available to read on all university websites and students are required to read them. You often sign a form saying that you are aware of the rules before you can sit for your exam. Students can protest later on but it’s rare for them to win the case, as both the observer and officer of the exam write reports as well. Some universities now use video cameras to confirm cheating in exams.

In Australia, my teachers often taught, ‘the only person you cheat is yourself’ – you lose the opportunities… cheating only gets you so far in life. There’s always a point where you WILL have to prove yourself. And then what will you do?

Taxi scams in Ho Chi Minh City, P1: The long haul
================================================== ===========
In this series, Tuoi Tre investigative journalists probed both illegal and legal (licensed) taxis in Ho Chi Minh City and their scams to rip off tourists, especially foreign ones, by taking longer routes, using a secret electronic device to inflate meter rates, and other tricks.


‘Ripoff taxis’ in Ho Chi Minh City include both licensed and unlicensed cabs.

Unlicensed taxis are those operated individually without registration. Their owners simply bought fake logos of famous taxi brands with which to camouflage their vehicles into efficient money-making machines. Sometime, such cabs bear no logo at all.

When the police arrive to inspect these cabs, the owners simply flee, pay a bribe, or remove the logos to turn their ‘taxi’ into a normal car again.

Ripoff licensed taxis are those with appropriate registration that pretend to be of prestigious brands. Some use dubious taximeters, have no signal light, or display a different symbol and telephone number than those registered.

Such technically legal taxis are numerous in the city and usually concentrate in areas with large numbers of foreign tourists like the Bach Dang Wharf along Ton Duc Thang Street, Ben Thanh Market, Pham Ngu Lao Street and the backpacker’s quarter (District 1), the War Remnants Museum (District 3), Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Tan Binh District), An Dong Market (District 5) and in front of big hotels, restaurants and hospitals.

Hundreds of such cabs appear on and off at each of those locations on a daily basis.


Longhauling: $18 for 3km

On August 12, two Australian tourists disembarked from a hydrofoil that had come from Vung Tau. When the hydrofoil parked at the Bach Dang Wharf in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1, the pair walked out only to be approached by a taxi driver with license plate number 51A-22029.

This driver quickly ‘escorted’ the two tourists to his vehicle, which boasted two big logos: one said “M.Taxi”, and another “taxi Mai Linh”. But on its body, the ‘taxi’ displayed the telephone number of Minh Duc taxi company (08) 54.343434. This cabbie bore taxi number 4004.

The Australians wanted to go to the Ha Vy Hotel on Do Quang Dau Street, District 1, a journey of around 3km. But the driver took a detour, driving into Me Linh Square, onto Hai Ba Trung Street, and back to Le Thanh Ton Street. After passing Ben Thanh Market, the driver took another detour, driving along Pham Hong Thai and Ly Tu Trong Streets, and then passed through Le Thanh Ton Street for the second time.

After this, he headed along the September 23rd Park, and traveled back and forth over Nguyen Thi Nghia, Pham Ngu Lao, De Tham, Bui Vien (the backpacker quarter), and Nguyen Trai streets before finally stopping in front of the desired location.

The tourists gave him a VND500,000 (US$24) bill and received change of VND100,000. When the customers held up their arms in protest, the cabbie reluctantly gave them an additional three VND10,000 notes and drove away.

This means the Australians paid VND370,000 (nearly US$18) in total for a 3km ride, around 9 times more expensive than it should have been.

At 12 o’clock noon on August 14, Tuoi Tre journalists under the disguise of customers took a taxi (plate number 52X-0276, with a logo showing “M.Taxi”) from Bach Dang Wharf to Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

The driver (number 793) wore a pair of sunglasses and a broad-brimmed hat and claimed to be with the famous Mai Linh Taxi Company.

The reporters pretended to be tourists visiting Ho Chi Minh City for the first time and asked him if the airport was far away. To this, he replied “very far, it’ll take probably around 40 minutes”.

The driver then drove around Me Linh Square to Hai Ba Trung Street, and continued straight to Phan Dinh Phung Street. Here, instead of turning left onto Hoang Van Thu Street and heading towards the airport, he drove to Nguyen Kiem and Nguyen Thai Son streets, before continuing on to Bach Dang and Hong Ha streets, among others.

During the ride, the reporters noticed that the taximeter worked in mysterious ways. The fee increased by different amounts each time: from VND5,000 to 7,000 per jump, and sometimes up to VND10,000. In all, they had to pay VND272,000 according to this erratic meter.

The driver also asked for VND20,000 ($1) more to cover the airport entrance fee.

When the ‘tourists’ asked him for an invoice, he told them he was out of Mai Linh taxi invoices and gave the reporters one from Vina taxi. At 1pm the same day, they took a Mai Linh taxi back to District 1 and the ride cost less than half of the earlier jounrey (VND120,000).

To be continued. In part two, Tuoi Tre tells readers how dishonest cabbies use a secret device to inflate meter rates
