Hội thoại #9: Giới thiệu với người khác
Bản dịch:
– My name’s Cathy from https://123vietnamese.com.
– Wellcome to the lesson 9: Introducing yourself.
– So Tony, you’ve got the first bargaining in Vietnamese.
– Is there anything else you need to get?
– I need to start to find a Hanoi office to pick up some documents.
– It only takes 1 minutes walk from here. Let’s go.
– Ok, good.
– Ok, this is my friend, Ms Phuong.
– Xin chào, Cathy.
– Xin chào, Phương. Phương, đây là bạn tôi, Tony.
– Tony, this is Phương.
– Xin chào
– Tony is here for travelling.
– I am teaching him some Vietnamese.
– I hope you enjoy your time in Vietnam, Tony.
– Do you understand what we were saying in Vietnamese?
– Yes, I understood most of it.
– But the word “bạn” is new for me.
– Bạn means “friend”, “bạn”.
– I say “đây là bạn tôi, Tony”.
– It means “this is my friend, Tony”
– Ah, I see.
– Tony, bạn là người Anh à?
– Phương asked “Are you English?”.
– Nước Anh is the word for “England”.
– Anh means “England”, “nước” means “country”,
– so “nước Anh” is the word for “England”.
– Người Anh means “English”
– You already know “người” is “people”,
– so “người Anh” means “England people”
– that is how we say English in Vietnamese,
– you are talking about nationality.
– So Phương asked “bạn là người Anh à?”
– it means “are you English?”
– So Phương, you asked “bạn là người Anh à?”,
– which means “are you English?”.
– Tôi không là người Anh. I’m American.
– But I want to know how to say it in Vietnamese.
– Nước Mỹ in Vietnamese is word for “America country” or “America”.
– Mỹ means “America” and “nước” in Vietnamese is for “country”.
– Người Mỹ means “America people” or “American”.
– Người you already know, means “people”.
– So “người Mỹ” is the word for “America people” or “American”
– Ok, so “tôi là người Mỹ”
– Vietnam in Vietnamese is still “Việt Nam”.
– That’s very interesting.
– So “các bạn là người Vietnam đúng không?”
– Vâng
– You are right. “Người Việt Nam”
– You seem to study Vietnamese faster Tony.
– You are doing good job of teaching him, Cathy.
– Cảm ơn, tiếng Anh của bạn rất tốt.
– Cảm ơn.
– What does “tiếng Anh” mean?
– Tiếng Anh means “English” at the English language.
– Tiếng Anh means “English language’ or “English”.
– Tiếng means “language” and “Anh” means “English”.
– So “tiếng Anh” is how we say “English language”
– So “Tiếng Anh của bạn rất tốt” means “your English is very good”
– Yes, that’s right. “Tiếng Việt của bạn rất tốt, Tony”
– Phương compliment your Vietnamese, Tony.
– There is a little difference here.
– Tiếng Việt. “Việt” means “Việt Nam”, it’s a acronyms.
– Tiếng means “‘language” so “Tiếng Việt” means “Viet Nam language” or “Vietnamese”.
– Tiếng Việt của bạn rất tốt means “your Vietnamese is very good”
– Cảm ơn. But I still know a little in Vietnamese.
– I hope I can study more to understand everything people say.
– You should introduce to people that you can speak a little Vietnamese
– so that you will have opportunity to practice Vietnamese better.
– Good idea, Phương.
– Tony, you can say “Tôi có thể nói một chút tiếng Việt”.
– Có thể means “can”
– Nói is the word for “speak”, “nói’.
– Một chút is how we say “a little” in Vietnamese.
– So “tôi có thể nói một chút” means “I can speak a little” and “tiếng Việt” means “Vietnamese”
– I see, so “tôi có thể nói một chút tiếng Việt”
– means “I can speak a little Vietnamese”.
– Is that ok?
– It’s nice to meet you here Tony.
– I hope I can also have chance to practice my English.
– Yes, it’s nice to meet you Phương.
– Tôi muốn nói tốt tiếng Việt
– Now I have to go, Cathy.
– Hope to see you again.
– Tạm biệt Phương.
– Tạm biệt.
