Learn Vietnamese: Lesson 2: Yes, No, Maybe, and No, Thank You in Vietnamese

[@nanatran8344]

normally "Dạ" is used for younger people when they talk to older ones. To talk to younger ones VNese say "Ừ (Uh) or Ờ (Oh that the voice goes down a little bit) or Ừm (Uhm)"... but thank you anyway for the lessons !!

[@kylealan543]

yeah my parents always used uh

[@unicorncheese2270]

I LOVE IT how they smile at the camera so awkwardly!

[@PickUpVietnamese]

Haha. But it's cute

[@AstroGoalHorns]

@@PickUpVietnamese It's been nearly a year since I watched this series so I returned to it today because episode 3 is where I got my Instagram profile picture from. What an odd coincidence that you replied to me now of all times!

[@PickUpVietnamese]

[@AstroGoalHorns]

[@Rocker2170]

[@caovuonglam]

Wow! So you're ethnically Vietnamese living in South Korea and speak Korean? If you're still learning, good luck!

[@ray-piano9326]

[@tyscooking9963]

older people never use the word " dạ không " to reply to the younger . only "không " is exactly more . if you guys have any questions , you can ask me . i'm glad to have someone study my native Language

[@cameronk6468]

[@tyscooking9963]

[@aborvemoong4505]

I want learn Vietnamese. can you add my wechat : aborvemoong thanks

[@nadirahcroom1938]

Teach me

[@ANHmuonoieuEM]

Tiếng Việt là ngôn ngữ nhiều biểu cảm và văn hóa lễ nghĩa! Tùy theo câu hỏi (dạng yes/no) mà ta trả lời Có/Không, Có thể/Ko thể, Được/Ko được, Rồi/Chưa... Từ ví dụ clip: từ "nước" có thể lược bỏ đi: - Con có muốn uống gì ko? - Dạ có (ạ)! / - Dạ ko (ạ)! Lịch sự hơn thì thêm câu cảm ơn. Nếu hỏi hoặc trả lời người lớn có thể thêm chữ "ạ" để vui lòng người nghe, câu được tự nhiên và mượt hơn (ko bắt buộc) - Tối nay chú có đi ăn với vợ không (ạ)? - Có (, con à)! / - Ko (, con à)! / Ko/chưa biết nữa! / Chắc là có/ko!

[@NaughtyNormanUT]

Al these lessons are exellent BUT You have to slow it down, There is no chance to absorb the valuable points.

[@guguchannel7334]

I don't speak Vietnamese but I am looking forward to speaking it soon . Thank you very much for your great efforts and videos Tôi không nói tiếng Việt nhưng tôi mong muốn được nói chuyện sớm. Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì những nỗ lực và video tuyệt vời của bạn

[@alanychu7595]

An adult do not say Dạ to the younger. They just need to said có or không. Especially, a boss is talking to you or you are talking to him. He should not reply Dạ.

[@crudskull]

Thanks Donna. Really useful lessons, they're really helping me out.

[@geneva760]

Thank you - bit by bit I will learn VN for my beautiful Vietnamese wife - HA - so I can understand when I get told "NO" - HA. Have a nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

[@snickers463]

this is realli great, i spoke a little vietnamese when i was young and forgot it through the years. im now re learning my own language just so i can understand the locals in vietnam when i go there for my holidays. i like the roleplay she does it helps a lot and shes frickin gorgeous. luv the american viets, hearing them makes me hard.

[@nazombie7935]

This will really help, I have been making vietnamese friends and I am a black American male I want to be able to speak with them in their language. I am also going on a date with a vietnamese girl so this really does help

[@MrVanthat7791]

tôi thấy cũng có nhiều người muốn học tiếng Việt Nam nhỉ. Vietnamese is verry cute ! Thank you for like our vietnamese.........

[@tnaoikokoro]

North Vietnamese often use "vâng" and people of South Vietnam always say " dạ". they have the same meaning. but both people in The North and the South are use " dạ" to answer when someone older calls. for example: -Anh trai(older Brother): em ơi ( brother calls his sister) - Em gái( little sister): dạ (yes?)

[@rickyadames7714]

The two situations at the end resemble some of the popular modern adult videos I love watching. If I were her boss I would have let her work the extra hours. lol

[@Sarah-gh4qf]

I am vietnamese I am very grab to hear you speak vietnamese So good

[@adveyrastogi3486]

this video will help me on my trip to Vietnam

[@MinhTran-mb5zm]

"tối nây" -> Word "nây" is a wrong. "nay" is a correct! so that we say "tối nay". It means "tonight" in English! Thank you!

[@joshuabrett]

@captainfalldown it is in the North. Fluent Vietnamese speakers will understand both words. And in all reality, neither one is a true "yes" word, since the way to say yes can often just be a repetition of the verb in the question asked. For example: Q: Are you hungry? (Anh co doi, khong?) A: Hungry! (Doi lam!) (lam means very)

[@SUB2THAT1GUY]

Thank you for teach my son Vietnamese

[@RobinMadfisherman]

Thanks so much. It will help me a lot just knowing how to say a few words.Better than none at all, Especially the first video.Thank You is important in every country and the first thing I try to learn. You have made it easy.

[@kevinblack1089]

You are awesome for these videos!

[@BellaBoo6868]

Thx for teaching me Vietnam

[@nguyenproas]

a quick note, vietnamese "yes" is diverse unlike in english, there are many words for affirmative "yes" example - "eh, đi xem phim không?" (hey, let's go to a movie?" if you want to say yes then here are your options "ừ, vâng," or simpler, use the first word of the question to answer, "đi" "muốn ăn cái gì không?" and for a yes answer you would say "muốn" and of course add the dạ in front of speaking to a respectable person "dạ muốn"

[@bluc3cl0ud]

thank you! I'm really happy when hearing this from a foreigner. But I also have to admit that it is also a problematic language sometimes.

[@carrotbumzz]

lol, that is really an interesting question, yea, "Da" is a polite way when talking to an elder. You can say "Khong", without "da", in some situations like talking your friends, whatever. Btw, Yes has so many way to say in Vietnamese, such as "co" "vang" "uh" whatever. If someone ask you "Are you going to the party tonight?", you will answer "co". If some one ask you "You are going to the party tonight, arent you?" You may say "uh". (:

[@pansy882004]

@delihya: Older people in Vietnam do not use "dạ" to youngers. Actually, we only use that word to people older than us '3'

[@xbomsuper6992]

Rat khoa hoc. Tui la nguoi Viet sau khi xem qua toi muon hoc them...tieng Viet.

[@jonphanspromotions]

very creative. This is a work in progress, you have the right concept, keep trying and you will succeed.

[@xandercorp6175]

@jorgento Because you say "Dạ" when responding to someone, as a sign of respect. Kind of like "hai" in japanese; in fact, pretty much exactly like "hai' - they can also be used as a sign of agrêment, in a roll call to mean "here", etc.

[@koriko88]

@manicmuffin It does seem to be pronounced "ya" rather than "yeah" in the south. The "yeah" pronunciation might be more prevalent in the north.

[@BIGMACHAMBURGER1]

Very well explained and presentation is easy to learn from. Thanks for posting.

[@NguyenQuan93]

@olivercopsey it is a polite way in speaking vietnamese.

[@rickotrems]

Thanks for the share buddy! I wanted to buy these language programs so bad ,but i cant afford it:( You are my saviour! Please keep the site updated with more softwares and tutorials... its simply amazing!Highly recommended for everyone!

[@caovanhuynh6593]

cảm ơn nên phiên âm là [kam on], không cần phải viết lại là [kam un] vì có thể họ sẽ đọc là "cam ân" (vì trong trường hợp này nếu đọc nhấn chữ viết UN trong tiếng Anh sẽ được đọc là "ân", chỉ khi không nhấn mới đọc là "ơn"

[@Scopion070188]

Btw, Yes sometimes means "Đúng vậy", "Đúng rồi" to confirm one thing is true and correct". Ex: Is he your son? - Yes, (he is) --> Đúng vậy

[@grip07PM]

i like the dance she did at 1:20... lol Great lesson btw...

[@Pinkiionly]

@CuteCandyDevil both "vang" and "da" mean "yes". "Vang" is widely used in the North and "da" is widely used in the South

[@junsang6491]

It's really an interesting video clip. I hope that there is more clip to teach Vietnamese in youtube like this. I am Vietnamese native speaker. So I find that there are some mistakes. We say "tối nay" instead of "tối nây". And "dạ" only used when the younger person talks to the older person for agreement. " Chú có muốn con làm thêm giờ cho chú tối nay không? - Không, cám ơn. Or Ừ, không, cám ơn.

[@MaiAlacrity]

@hitosawa yeah, i guess you're right., but then again, my fam's from the south ^^ and lastly thanks!!! I should be posting another video very soon, this time, its about me rapping

[@tannewton]

please, make a video about a telephone conversation. For example, how do I ask, 'Who's speaking?', or 'Hold the line, please', or 'Hello, I am [myname], can I speak to [someone else's name], please?'

[@JR-km5hv]

What's the difference between vang and da? I've been learning with vang and now this has thrown me

[@rayflores6854]

I would love to speak some Vietnamese, I have had some working partners that spoke little English and I would get nervous guiding, coaching them.

[@1286jade]

Haha, the last conversation is really funny. The man should say" khong, cam on". " Da khong, cam on" is used if he is younger than her.

[@beingtomothy]

@SkyDarmos Thanks so much, very interesting. I speak Japanese and a bit of Chinese, so this is helpful for remembering words.

[@angmyngoc480]

[@MinhNhat-so8oy]

Dạ ( chidren say to adult ) , Adult not say Dạ to chidren . They say Ừ or Có .

[@MinhNhat-so8oy]

You're a good teacher .

[@bluestreak711]

Thank you for this insight. That could have been awkward if I would have said Da to my Vietnamese friend who is four years younger than I. lol

[@hoangvan251]

yes. You are right. But this is just a polite

[@hoangvan251]

bluestreak711 Could i make a friend with you? :)

[@giangle9234]

hoang van no,even to be polite "Da" is never used in this situation

[@xbomsuper6992]

Chương trình rất hấp dẫn nhưng hi vọng bạn nên cập nhật thêm vì ngôn ngữ rất đa dạng. Cái này các bạn dịch sát nghĩa tiếng Anh quá. Từ "Dạ" chỉ khi với người nhỏ tuổi hoặc vai vế, cấp bậc thấp hơn. Ngược lại thì không dùng chỉ nên " uh or uhm". Boss: uh or uhm Nhưng thay thế từ Dạ = vâng thì ok. Lưu ý: Vâng có nguồn gốc bắc. Chức năng sử dụng mọi trường hơp.

[@aaronmadrid9863]

hey man ive been to vietnam and i gotta tell you its great haha. its good you wanna learn before you go, i didnt have time to learn a lot but i learned a lot of small phrases just being in every day situations. make sure you focus on exactly how to pronounce things because it will be very hard for some people to understand you

[@sangief17]

Speaking viet is different than English. It's what way and scenario u can say what. There's a big difference how u can speak with age and sex. Vietnamese is all about respect too

[@SkyDarmos]

@dyld921 Well, sometimes they are not displayed, but speaking in general, if you have windows vista or windows 7 you can see them without installing anything - but only in "internet explorer" or "firefox" and in messengers like "MSN". If you want to see Nôm Characters in Word or OpenOffice then you have to install Nôm Fonts. The same is true for some cantonese characters.

[@GKQ333]

@manicmuffin any good book would have proper pronunciation of the letters in the first part of the book. typically it will have the viet phoneme, /d/, and then the correct IPA alophone [z] for north [j] for south. then maybe some examples

[@abronta89]

Thanks for the free language softwares buddy! really nice share.these are MUSTS for every beginner

[@khanh0911vn]

you are right mate

[@hoamapankeo]

If you comunicate with a person who has higher social than you ( ex: father, mother, teacher, boss,...). You use " Không", not " Dạ không". " Dạ" is used to show politeness of you . Tôi viết thế có đúng không nhỉ

[@ngocmn]

Dạ only use: kid, son, daughter or young answer with family, cousin, teacher or old man.

[@sabertig3489]

How do you say : "No means no!" in Vietnamese?

[@huonglanhoang8490]

it's "Không là không"

[@NghiaHarveyOrange]

This is amazingly funny request!

[@skypiercer]

southern accent sounds so much cuter and soothing.. imo

[@VoDuongGorla]

very interesting, but can I use as YES "Có" or "Vang"? You use the sound of south, is it right? I am learning, and usually I talk with friends from south, but I never heard "Dạ", thanks

[@snowqueen93]

there are many ways to say YES in Vietnamese. For friends/older to younger: Yes = "Ừ". For younger to older/polite: Yes = "DẠ"/"VÂNG". And sometimes Yes = "CÓ", like when you ask:"Do you like anything to drink?", the answer should be:"Dạ CÓ" or just "CÓ"

[@SkyDarmos]

@wynnbuttercup thats just traditional vietnamese script. If you are familiar with chinese characters it is quite easy. If you don´t like it you can just ignor it.

[@tifanvn08]

@three0234 when u are talking to a person who younger than you,you dont speak "Dạ",that word only use to talk to a person who older than you.it's respectful.

[@bkplh8580]

học tiếng anh từ cái này được nè! ^ ^

[@anhuynlee]

How can I learn how to write the phonetic of one Vietnamese word?

[@dugaldneeson2570]

at 0:50 we're told "no, thank you" is da khong, can on. Then in the scenario 1 at 1:23 he responds "Da Khong." but the text below shows this as also containing thank you (i.e.cam on) which he clearly does not say. As a learner this is rather confusing. I can only assume that you have an inaccuracy contained within your teaching video.

[@phiphianna]

The second scenario, the boss would not say "da khong" to his employee that is younger then him, he would only say "khong".

[@breathebliss]

hahaha i just went there for summer 2012, it's awesome

[@ER_aka_RAM]

True..

[@benjamings]

What about "vâng" for "yes"? Also shouldn't "dạ" be pronounced "ya" rather than "yaa"? I always thought that the dấu nặng makes sounds shorter.

[@gabspen]

And then in the example the boy simply said "yes no" as no thankyou? Can someone explain to me?

[@DeloresManderelle]

Thank you so much!

[@hitosawa]

@MaiAlacrity no offense, but to say that "older people never say "da." is totally a mistake. My father and his family are from the North; when listening to conversations between he and his aunties, I heard the the word "da." all the times. For instance: my father gave them a red pocket, and his aunt replied: "Dạ quý hóa quá, cám ơn anh nhiều!"; and when he asked to help close the store, his other aunt said "dạ không ạ, anh cứ để đấy!"

[@SkyDarmos]

@dyld921 People who like it use it, I just posted it for those interested in it, you can ignore it if you dislike it.

[@blueealge332]

Yes = Có, Vâng, Dạ, Ừ No= Không Vâng, Dạ are spoken in the polite way, you can speak "Vâng", or "Dạ", or "Dạ vâng" ("Vâng dạ" is not correct) Có, Ừ are spoken in the impolite way (when children talk to the older) or in the informal way (when older talk to friend (same age) or the younger)... Yes in vietnamese has a lot of meaning, i mean it can be used in a lot of situations..

[@jajacomment]

so good

[@celestinasin8149]

wait, so yes is da and no is không but when we say “no, thank you” it’s da không???? confusion

[@caovuonglam]

Yes.

[@vn7512]

No the word “Dạ” is just a polite word use mostly by younger person whenever they respond to the older person.

[@izzydizzy0303]

[@ya-tekao8477]

I don't get the last scenario... asking about if having dinner with wife, then turning to ask about ''extended working hours''.... red-flagged!!

[@mridge01]

I thought the same thing.

[@huxmm92]

In Vietnam, the older person doesnt say "Da" with the younger one. "Da" is a word of politeness. So, in this video, the old man should say "Khong, Cam on", not "Da khong, cam on".

[@tiennv8x]

tiếng miền Nam nghe dễ thương ghê:)

[@gabspen]

I'm confused... If Da is yea and Khong is no, then da khong cam on is literally "yes no thankyou"? Can you just say khong cam on?

[@reeceyamato]

why in the first scenario the young guy answer to he's mother Da Khong but in the translate says (no, thank you) maybe I'm wrong but it should be, Da Khong, Cam on?

[@bluc3cl0ud]

In my point of view (a Vietnamese who is living in Hanoi), the way of her pronunciation is like Vietnamese in the South and I strongly recommend foreigners who want to learn Vietnamese learn the North accent, especially Hanoi accent, it is much much more easier and standard bcz Hanoi accent is always considered as the standard of Vietnamese. Don't learn the southern accent!

[@viisaur]

@olivercopsey It's like saying, 'No thank you.'

[@AlexParbro]

Thanks for the videos. Now this poor mexican can tell his mother-in-law things like no thanks in vietnamese

[@bom74100]

you're right! Yes in Vietnamese can be "Dạ" "Vâng" "Ừ" "Có" according to the question you answer, and person who u talk with. 1/ "Con có muốn uống nước gì không?" (Do you want anything to drink?) Vietnamese often say "Dạ CÓ" (Yes, I WANT) instead of "Dạ" 2/ "Chú có muốn con làm thêm giờ cho chú tối NAY không? ("Nay" not "Nây") (Do you want me to work more hours for you tonight?) Không, cám ơn (No, thank you) NOT "Dạ không" (Because that man is older the girl)

[@tifanvn08]

If you comunicate with a person who has higher social than you ( ex: father, mother, teacher, boss,...),u must use "Dạ không",that is the police,If you comunicate with a person who has lower social than you,u can't use "Dạ không",bcoz it's just use to comunicate with a person who has higher social than you.

[@DeloresManderelle]

I am learning Vietnamese and everywhere I see the word "you" it's "vâng" what's the difference between, vâng and không ḍa? I would really appreciate getting a reply.
