How to Exaggerate in Vietnamese | Learn Vietnamese with TVO

[@tdanielsesq]

I loved this video. It is one of my favorite from TVO. I laughed and laughed at some of these. I will watch over and over to learn these. . .Thanks for another great video lesson!

[@Ochawanasn]

I use only “quá” to make exaggerate expression. I leaned a lot this time too.

[@angthithuong1893]

For example 'Em quá đẹp' -> a little unnatural 'Em đẹp quá' ->natural Vietnamese's easy ! Keep at it😊

[@charlycheer]

I really enjoyed the explanations! Thank you!

[@triton576]

This video is so funny. I had a very long night at work Thank you for the laughter. 🙀🤭🤥💋

[@benknightguitar]

there’s also tons of generic ones that can be used with any word: siêu, lắm, khủng khiếp, dễ sợ, ghê, vãi, dữ

[@J11_boohoo]

I don’t know what I’m doing here, I’m learning languages but I’ll probably never learn Vietnamese, but I still feel interested SEA!! From PH ❤️

[@languagefreeassangeteacher5338]

Cool - thank you. Tuyệt - cảm ơn bạn.

[@ValleyData]

Love these lessons. Thank you for making them 😁

[@pbtart]

This is awesome!

[@user-kp5kg5dl8h]

Ohhh I neeeeed this lesson. I love exaggerating everything in English :)). So obviously I'd like to do the same in Vietnamese!!!

[@김지향-d5v]

Wow this is so useful.. Thanks a lot!! Cảm ơn cô rất nhiều!!

[@spain1983carlos]

Not only you are super beautiful, you explain really well, greetings from Spain 😘🌹

[@mckoylach1622]

First of all,thanks for the new lessons of Vietnamese exaggerating phrases. I really needed them to sound more like the native speaker. But,on the other hand,your pronunciations of the words, caught my attention. Why? Because I have been studying Vietnamese language for a while now and I noticed that some of the pronunciations different from the lessons I learned. You must be from the North and the lessons I have been studying must be the South. Correct me if I’m wrong. Additionally. I wish, I could learn Vietnamese with you in person,thus, I can pick up more quickly. Thanks

[@angthithuong1893]

She is from the North . North people don't pronounce 'r' in many case ( that's why The North has high pitch) 'giất'-> 'rất'√, 'giẻ' -> 'rẻ'√, 'giớt'-> 'rớt'√, 'giuột'-> 'Ruột'√, And 'xạch' -> 'sạch'√.. In South, they're also sometimes lazy to trill 'r' so they say 'ch', 'd' instead. For example: 'chời ơi' -> 'trời ơi'√ *Don't get me wong but you should pronounce 'r' correctly , then learn dialects

[@mckoylach1622]

Thuong Dang thank you

[@Tiengvietoi]

@@angthithuong1893 is correct. This video is spoken in Northern dialect :)

[@gerrym75]

In English we have a saying like vui nhu Tet - it's "like a kid at Christmas". So you might ask if someone was happy? and the answer could be "Yeah, he was like a kid at Christmas"

[@AdvisorDanny]

Wonderful

[@legatrix]

Thanks for the video. re: examples with 'thối': compare 'stinking rich' in English, which is as arbitrary as 'buồn ruột thối'. Idiomatic (at least in the UK) examples for the adjectives at the end of the video: đắt: that costs an arm and a leg! | rẻ: that's a steal | vui: happy as Larry; over the moon; chuffed | buồn: down in the dumps; feeling blue | gần: a stone's throw away; up your arse (especially of drivers behind you) | xa: miles away | tối: black as night; pitch black; can't see a thing | sáng: blinding; dazzling | mệt: knackered; ready to drop | mỏi: [difficult to think of one, but you could say "I feel like I'm falling apart" with similar meaning] | chua: [can't think of anything natural, but people associate very sour things with puckered lips, so you could invent something like "face-puckeringly sour"] | cay: burning hot; a ring-stinger [vulgar] | ngọt: sickly sweet [negative] | mặn: [can't think of one, I would just say "so salty"] | sạch: clean as a whistle; sparkling clean | hết: all gone, clean out (of x: "we're clean out of toothpaste"), fresh out (of x).

[@Tiengvietoi]

Wow this is so interesting and useful!! Thank you Luke. Never heard people exaggerate the distance with the phrase "up your arse" before. It's funny :))

[@legatrix]

@@Tiengvietoi Great! Yeah, just remember to replace 'your' with 'my' in the first person haha.

[@legatrix]

Or, strictly speaking, 'me' (informal for 'my') to make it sound more natural!

[@qua87989]

Người sài gòn nói: Lạnh teo chim (people from south say for 'very cold' similar as in the video - only with close friends)

[@MrDuong12]

lạnh teo bu-gi

[@matthewwilson4978]

@2:28-I've heard my U.S friends say 'Chilly on the nipple'. 'Freeze your ass off' I believe is common in many English speaking countries.

[@LC-hd5dc]

maybe you can find better results by searching "hyperbolic phrases", such as "raining cats and dogs", "so hungry i could eat a horse", "sleep like a log", etc. although personally i don't use these kinds of phrases, they feel a bit dated. i find it much more entertaining to just make up my own, or use some meme or pun

[@Lion-n7p]

Em rat dep

[@cuongle9934]

Use the structure "vãi + Noun" or "adj + vãi (Noun)" guys! Much more easier, common and friendly. *but be careful with it.

[@leealberto4139]

Or foreigners shouldn’t use it at all

[@bunnyfoxnguyen]

love this!!!

[@10000words1]

Great video! Actually, we also say "my stomach is growling" in English to mean we're hungry... but that's common so you probably already knew that. But if you want to be really edgy, when it's cold say "It's a bit nipply!". It's a play on words: many people say "It's nippy" to mean it's cold (nippy is a weird word and doesn't mean anything else), but nipply brings to mind what happens to nipples when it's cold... so it's weird AND cute! 🤣 Also, probably don't say that in a formal situation 🤔

[@Tiengvietoi]

Haha thanks for the sharing anh Andrew, it's a very interesting phrase. Would you say it's a common expression in most Western countries?

[@10000words1]

@@Tiengvietoi "it's a bit nippy" is common British slang for cold, but I've never heard "It's a bit nipply" outside the US, and pretty rarely at that. Anyway, if there person you're talking to hasn't heard it before they'll either think you're incredibly cheeky or that you've made a hilarious mistake. So you can't lose! 😁

[@JungleScene]

@@10000words1 we say its nippy in canada. and we also do say "my stomach is growling"

[@jimmyjammERRz]

Cam on em!

[@TrangPham-ok5lm]

It's seemingly the North pronunce "r" like "gi"

[@teeroy95]

No. Z

[@the_isisnicole]

thank you!!!

[@bunnyfoxnguyen]

Cảm on 💗

[@Lion-n7p]

Yeu em qua!

[@legatrix]

Actually, I've just made a list of around 100 Vietnamese idioms, with usage examples and detailed annotations. Perhaps some people here would be interested in using it. It's Section 13 of this document: bradley.fit/pdf/vietnameseWorkbook.pdf

[@nancyhunter9543]

Very hot= it's sweltering/ it's burning up/ it's hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk Very cold= it's freezing/frigid / it's cold as a witch's tit (naughy!)

[@katori387]

-Bạn có khoẻ không? How are you? -tôi khỏe cảm ơn còn bạn i'm fine thanks and you! -Tôi không biết I do not know....

[@TanNguyen-zf6oj]

This lady pronounces correctly. I am so impressed that with northern Vietnamsese accent, but she can pronounce nicely , correctly the word " Rat"

[@TravisRayWatson]

AHAHAHAHAHH! What shrinks when it is cold. So funny!

[@rtmpgt]

It's basically the same as "I froze my balls off" haha

[@87teevo]

I just learned one...dui như trái chuối

[@benknightguitar]

bored ≠ boring

[@tomlee4018]

For hot, I've been saying 'nóng gay gắt', which I learned from the Zalo weather report. I really like 'nóng chảy mỡ, tuy nhiên, đàn ông khỏe mạnh như mình chẳng có nhiều mỡ để chảy chỉ cơ bắp đấy

[@larrylenard4284]

Then speak with the Vinh dialect. rât has the "r" sound not the "z" sound.

[@rudrapratapsingh5756]

I came here from Living bobby.. to see the world's most prettiest girl😍😍

[@rafaelkorinsimoes6449]

I wish my native language had cooler ways of exaggerating

[@thanhthanhnguyen8598]

"Lanh teo c"

[@Delts-oi6db]

I like the costume in the beginning of the video because it looks like you are hiding in the tees in the WAR.(u know wut I mean)

[@alvinthai9058]

In English, we use metaphors like "her hands are cool plums" and/or "stone eyes". Anything can be exaggerated with a good vocabulary. 🙂

[@jamesdeen225]

nong nhu cai lo, nong de so

[@gnomesayin1440]

2:42 It also shrinks when the girl is not pretty, haha
