New Vietnamese Help Thread

[Guest sallyen]

^^ cà chớn is kind of hard to explain. I usually use it when the person I'm talking to, do something I don't want him to do and he does it anyways. Something that makes me mad. Someone who is a rebel.

I'm not sure though. It's hard to explain the word.

[Guest papiroflexia]

What is "Ca Chon? There is an accent mark to it or there is the "o" with the comma connected to it at the top,but it is an insult in Vietnamese,but I don't know what it mean in English,can someone help me?

Saying someone is ca chon is like saying they are a jerk/full of attitude. Something like that.

[Guest coolviet]

- At my school more than 50% of vietnamese people with their last name is nguyen, wow! like when we go to class that put together by the last name, the whole class is like nguyen, nguyen, nguyen.. so i know alot of viet people!..lol

It's even worse at my college, we represent like 80%, lol

[Guest .Yul.]

I am Viet as well. lol.

Actually, cà chớn is not much of an insult though. It does mean jerk, and like...annoyingly stubborn, keep on doing something that annoy others.

[Guest joannieos]

hey. i was wondering if you could translate this for me >____<

"da khong yeu thi thoi."

please and thank you! <33

Uh...Kinda hard to explain I think it'd be something along the lines of 'If you don't love, then fine!' LOL something like that.

[Guest instantudon]

^Actually, thats exactly what it means. Just less.. childish. Haha.

[Island]

ok i'll try my best. XD

"ba ơi, néu ba cho con ỏ nhà ngài mai con sẽ dọn dẹp nhà và sấp sếp quống aó cuả con, Andrew, và Alex."

Da khong yeu thi thoi, I like that song

[Telmedragon]

I agree, something along the lines of jerk, bubble gum, etc.

To really make it an insult, it would be more like cà chớn chó

I don't quite understand cà chớn chó? *__*

It doesn't really flow well when you add dog after ca chon.....

Ca chon is an insult ;o it's definitely not a positive thing to be.

Chao cac ban, em cung la nguoi viet.

nếu co gi sai thi sửa dum

em cung muon hoc lai chính tả..

haha.

I corrected some typos

[Guest wishy-star]

from my knowledge

Co^- young siblings from your dad side of the family..but also can use to call

mom/dad's friend or sth that's older ...

Ba'c- only title that person so when s/he is older than your parents.

Di`- younger sister from your mother side of the family

just a few corrections (*EDIT* from what my mom told me)

Cô can be used for ladies that are not too old and is used for aunts on your dad's side of the family. They dont have to be younger than him

Dì is used for aunts on your mother's side of the family; again, they dont really have to be younger than her

[Guest Sparky Katty]

^ i think Dì is used to call someone who is your mom's YOUNGER sister. For OLDER sisters, they're called BÁC.

sometimes Dì is also used to call 'step mom'

Chao cac ban, em cung la nguoi viet.

noi co gi sai thi ching dum

em cung muon hoc lai chin ta..

haha.

ching -> chinh/chỉnh

chin ta -> chinh ta / chính tả.

(:

Our language is very limited cause we were colonized by the frenchies. john tesh!

[Guest sallyen]

From what I've been taught.

dì = aunts from your mother's side OR close older females who are the same age as your aunts

cô = aunts from your father's side OR females who are the same age as your parents

dượng = man married to your aunt (but my family doesn't use this often because it sounds similar to vượn=monkey. sorry for typo!)

mợ = female married to your uncle

chú = same age/younger than your father

bác/bác gái = older than your father, but not as old as your grandparents

ông/bà - same age as your grandparents or older

Since I don't know many from my dad's side of the family, something might be missing.

I hope it's helpful

in Nam, they call a person who's generally very old ông and in Bac is cụ if I'm not mistaken. ^ ^;;
