SUBTITLE
– My name’s Cathy , from https://123vietnamese.com
– Welcome to lesson 3 : Airport Arriving
– Ok. Here we are in the arrival hall
– I need to change the time of my watch to Ha Noi time. Did I get here on time?
– “Bạn đến muộn” that means “You are late” “Muộn” it means “late”
– Yah, I’m a bit late. The flight would be late. How would I say that?
– Máy bay của tôi bị muộn. It meanS “My plane was late.
– So “máy bay” means “Airplane”?
– Yes, Máy bay. Máy bay also means a machine can fly.
– “Bay” means “Fly”, “Máy” means machine. So “Máy bay” means “Fly machine”. This is how we say airplane in vietnamese.
– I see. So “Máy bay của tôi” means “My Plane” and “Bị muộn” means “was late”.
– This is how to say my plane was late? What’s about my plane was early?
– Máy bay của tôi rất sớm. “Sớm” means “early”
– I see. So “Máy bay của tôi rất sớm” it means “My plane was very early”
– Perfect. You learn Vietnamese very quickly. There are some words related to airport. For example: “sân bay” – airport.
– Sân bay. Yes, I think it ‘s easy to remember Vietnamese words.
– Do you have bags?
– Yes, they are here. What we call for bag?
– The Vietnamese word is “túi”.
– So I want to say “I have my bag”, what it is?
– Tôi có túi . The new word for you here is “Có”.
– Có mean “to have”. Tôi có means “I have”, túi means “Bag”. So Tôi có túi means “I have bag”
– Oh, for some reasons, if I want to say “I don’t have bag”. How would I say that?
– If you don’t have any bag, you can use “Không” in the sentence.
– “Không có” means “Not have”. “Tôi không có túi”, it means “I don’t have any bag” or “I not have bag”
– Ok, so “Có” means “have” and “Không có” means “Not have” or “Don’t have”
– Yes. ..Do you want to get taxi to the hotel?
– Ah, wait a minute. Where is the toilet?
– Do you want to ask this in Vietnamese?
– Sure, How would I say “Where is””
– You can say “Ở đâu”. “Ở đâu” means “Where” or “which place”.
– The word for “Toilet” is “Nhà vệ sinh”. The sentence “Nhà vệ sinh ở đâu?”, it means “The toilet is where” or “Where is the toilet?”.
– You can use “ở đâu?” to ask about the place in Vietnamese.
– Nhà vệ sinh ở đâu?
– The answer for you is “Nhà vệ sinh ở đằng kia” which means “the toilet is over there”
– Đằng kia means “that place”, there or over there.
– “Nhà vệ sinh ở” means “the toilet is” and “Đằng kia” means “over there”
– So I just have to go as direction.
– Yes, of couse.
– Ok, now let’s get taxi to the hotel.
