You've heard about the Việt Cộng. But what does 'cộng' mean?

[@stlev99]

I live lessons with content beyond just giving language info. Well done.

Không hôn ở công cộng. I met a few older guys up North who didn't mind being referred to as "VC" by westerners. These guys were real combat veterans and serious bad asses in their day. They got to the South using the "Ho Chi Minh Trail".

[@dirremoire]

Really interesting lesson, thank you Annie!

[@grantperkins368]

Fantastic lesson, Annie! I hope one day to study with you 😁

[@monyky8036]

It's very helpful. However, there's another word that I don't understand is " Viet Minh " could you please explain it?

[@mytravelvlog-jc]

Great video! I have learned a great deal from your lessons on Vietnamese language and culture and they are great help for my trips to the country and my KZbin channel as well.

[@robertc6712]

That's great! I really enjoy when you explain the etymology and roots of words. Much love.

Should I pronounce Viet with a Y or a V?

[@derpingflamingo]

With a D

[@camillemai8426]

V is standard but alot of southern people pronounce it like Y

[@mckoylach1622]

Good vocabularies to learn, thanks

[@genxman7211]

Nếu

[@ericseow6587]

Cam on Annie. Thich video em luon

[@ericjohnson6634]

The trickiest part of South Vietnamese pronunciation for me is the inconsistency in pronouncing V and S. It seems to vary not just from word to word, but speaker to speaker, or even sentence to sentence 😰

Tôi không thích dùng nhà vệ sinh công cộng.

very helpful! thank you!!

[@sontay1976]

Lúc em độc từ "cộng' phát âm kiểu "cổng" hơn

[@forrestfreeri794]

thx chi.

[@Deschutron]

It has a great coincidentally similar meaning with the Proto-Indo-European word root "kom", which meant "with" and is used as the prefix com-, con-, col-, cor-, co- etc, in a lot of English words from Latin, e.g. communist, collected, community, communal, commonwealth, cooperate, collaborate

[@elfinzilla]

Chị đã hổi em nói một câu hổi. Em có thể nói một cộng một băng hai không? 😅

[@jeehnie]

thank you chi ỏi

[@titikati]

Although Việt cộng simply means Vietnamese communist, it is strangely perceived as an insult.

[@cynomaca]

Actually in China we often use việt cộng (越共) as a meme on the Internet for who hides himself very well like an ambush strategy, the ambush we called "越共探头”😂

[@danny24042002]

hi annie nice vid 👌🖒 i have a question 🙆.. youre ready ?

[@itshry]

7:05 why Republic of Vietnam is not Cong hoa Vietnam?

[@cacbon-dioxit]

Việt Nam Cộng Hoà - South Vietnam Cộng Hoà Dân Chủ Việt Nam - North Vietnam Cộng Hoà Xã Hội Chủ Nghĩa Việt Nam - Unified Vietnam
