Vietnamese At Soompi

[Guest onetwothuy]

I'm Nam.

& I haven't been around enough Bacs to know how well I understand.

[Guest lovebaby]

Nam 100%

I think my mom is from bac, but she doesn't have that accent anymore, except for when she starts yelling...

I haven't heard bac accent for a while, since I was still in VN, so I'm not sure I would recognize it anymore. Lolz

[Guest littleblackwings]

I'm Bac. XD My sister is dating a guy who speaks Nam and it's so funny when he talks, I can't understand a word of it. O-O

[Island]

^

LOL really?

I find it difficult understanding Bac, but it kinda depends on the person I guess, since I'm 100% Nam X)

[sub.lime]

I'm Bac. I can understand Nam people fine, but no offense...when dudes have a Nam accent it sounds kinda...gay.

[shinhwa_tiffy]

lol eeeer none.

I'm from trung. yo XP

One of my best buddy is from bac and the other is nam. It's funny hearing them and their parents talk XD

[Guest Rainity]

im nam LOL full nam ;D

[Guest yours.truly.]

my family's trung. we pronounce our v's like y's lol.

[Guest angels.disguise]

im bac.

i can understand both bac & nam

but its harder with nam because they soften

all the words & just garble & basically mess up the sentence structure.

also they talk really fast.

i don't understand how bac can have accent

to others if its the official dialect with crisp clear pronunciations?

the only dialect i cant understand is

from the people in the middle of vn.

they're in a whole different world o_o

[Guest starber]

i'm bac

ever since grade 3 till now, i was made fun of nam people for being bac LOL

they would call be a "bucker" or say "buc you!"

i can understand only a few words spoken by a nam person

but they talk really fast and SOMETIMES (not all) speak like ducks (?)

but not all. Mostly the older women & men

[Guest Tranberry]

I'm Chinese but my parents grew up in Vietnam in the south so I guess they are Nam. Although one of my best friends is Bac and I know that she as well as her family/friends make fun of the Nam accent.

[Guest rogueeex]

1/2 bac, 1/2 hue

and I understand..all? lol

but I don't have any of the accents [born in America] :x

The only thing I have trouble understanding is the new slang. There are just so many new words I can't keep up x_x

[Guest kiralz0mg]

my mom is trung and my dad is bac but we all speak nam dialect. Seriously you find it hard to understand bac dialect..? To me its easy to understand lawls. My grandma, who speaks Bac has a little trouble understanding me but i only think its because i have a slight Canadian accent and whatnot

[Guest kishycathiee]

I'm vietnamese and I was like.. wth?! What the heck is nam and bac?! .. until I read it haha.

I think the northern accent sounds super cool! I have an american vietnamese accent XD

[Guest Kraka]

Nam.

Hard to understand Bac accent.

I dont speak Viet other than to my parents and its very limited and mixed with english. I understand only some words. =(

Me and my friends speak viet to each other only for laughs ebcause it sounds so strange to us. aha

[Guest heyyitznicole]

I'm Vietnamese, but I don't think I deserve to say I'm one because I epic fail at it x)

I'm half/half, so on the rare times I manage to say something Vietnamese sometimes it comes out with a mixed accent... heh.

I mean, I can mostly understand what people are trying to say to me, but if they expect me to respond in Vietnamese... sorry, no can do. I end up miming what I want to say to them.

Most of the words I know are either food words, or caveman sentences like "I'm hungry" or "I'm full"!

[Guest BaoQuyen]

Bac and Hue, but you rarely hear the Hue in me when I speak Vietnamese.

And I don't speak super Bac either, but that's more of where my accent is.

But I don't talk as rough as other people do when they speak Vietnamese, I dunno why, it's just softer haha

[Guest gaTinhvi]

I'm Trung.

People have a hard time understanding Trung's so we tend to speak other accents. I personally LOOOOVE Bac accent. Nam accent has a tendency to sound like ducks but also can sound pretty cute when girls speak it.

[Guest CHOCmiint]

[Guest Huyen]
