Learn Vietnamese Lesson 30 - Review The Learn Vietnamese 30 Day Journey - Basic Level

1. Pronoun and family members in Vietnamese

In Vietnamese, family member nouns often serve as pronouns to refer to oneself, the person being spoken to, and others mentioned in conversation. The simplest method to determine the appropriate pronoun is by considering the age gap.

If someone's age aligns with that of a family member, it's common to address or refer to them using the same noun you use for that family member.

2. “What/Which…?” in Vietnamese

Formula:

[Something] + là + gì/nào?

For example:

Vietnamese English
Tên của bạn là gì? What’s your name?
Bạn làm nghề gì? What’s your job?/ What job do you do?
Ông ấy là người nước nào? Where is he from?/ Which country are you from?
Con học trường nào? Which school are you in?

3. “Where…?” in Vietnamese

Formula:

[Something] + ở + đâu?

For example:

Vietnamese English
Nhà của bạn ở đâu? Where is your house?
Trường/Lớp của em ở đâu? Where is your school/class?
Quán ăn của cô Vân ở đâu? Where is Mrs. Van’s restaurant?
Tối nay chúng ta đi ăn ở đâu? Where will we go to have dinner tonight?

4. “How much/How many…?” in Vietnamese

Formula:

[Something] + bao nhiêu/mấy?

For example:

Vietnamese English
Bạn bao nhiêu tuổi? How old are you?
Nhà hàng/Quán ăn có bao nhiêu bàn? How many table does the restaurant have?
Hôm nay là ngày bao nhiêu? What date is today?
Em học lớp mấy? Which grade are you in?
Cô ấy ở lầu mấy? Which floor are you on?

5. Yes-no question in Vietnamese

Formula 1:

[Something] + có + [verb/adjective] + không?

However, you should remember that:

  • “Là” and “ở” (to be) need “phải” before it in yes-no question and negative sentence.
  • “Có” (have) can be reduce because you don’t need to repeat “có” twice.

For example:

Vietnamese English
Bạn có khỏe không? How are you?/Are you good?
Anh ấy có phải là giáo viên không? Is he a teacher?
Cô của bạn có phải ở tầng 5 không? Is your aunt on the 5th floor?
Nhà hàng có bàn cho 2 người không? Does the restaurant have table for 2 people?

Formula 2:

[Something] + phải không?

The formula #2 is similar to “..., right?” in English. You just need to use a positive or negative sentence and add “...phải không?” to confirm the information.

For example:

Vietnamese English
Bạn là đầu bếp phải không? You’re a cook, right?
Anh biết tiếng Anh phải không? You speak English, right?
Hôm qua không phải là sinh nhật của bạn phải không? Yesterday was not your birthday, right?

6. Verb in Vietnames

In a Vietnamese sentence with more than one verb, you just add verbs one-by-one to express your idea. Verbs in Vietnamese have only one form and doesn’t change when they go together.

Formula:

[Something] + [verb 1] + [verb 2] + [verb …]

For example:

Vietnamese English
Tôi muốn biết tiếng Việt. I want to speak Vietnamese.
Anh ấy cần gọi cho mẹ của bạn. He needs to call your mom.
Bà ấy muốn mời ba và mẹ của bạn đi ăn tối. She wants to invite your dad and mom to have dinner.

Well-done! We went through all grammar structures and some vocabulary to get you ready for test. You've achieved a strong foundation for your Learn Vietnamese journey later on this website. Are you ready? Let's take the test!

Lesson 09: Pronouns in Vietnamese (Part 1)

Summary : Only the two English pronouns "I" and "You" can be translated into many different pronouns in Vietnamese conversations. Pronouns are determined by the context of the conversation. However, let's start with the most common pronouns first. In English, you use "I/we" to refer to yourself/yourselves and "you" to refer to the person/people you're talking to in a conversation. Additionally, "it/he/she/they" are used to refer to someone you're talking about. However, when you learn Vietnamese, one English pronoun can be translated into many different words depending on: The age gap between you and the person you’re talking to/about. The relationship between you and that person. The context of the conversation. The social class of that person. Your attitude/emotions towards that person.
