    This makes a lot of sense, if you spend time with Vietnamese people, there is always food 😁

    I'm someone who knows survival-level vietnamese and is wanting to learn how to fluently speak the language... Thanks so much for these videos. It's really hard to find someone who teaches in the southern dialect, which is the one I am familiar with.

    I really your voice when you speak English. It’s like ASMR for me. I have trouble sleeping and relaxing so this helps a lot. Thank you. Btw, I’m already fluent in Vietnamese so I don’t need to learn it. I’m just here for the ASMR. Your videos are really helpful for other people though. Good luck to everyone who’s studying the language right now. 💕

    This one I didn't know! I'm not going to eat Halloween but I will eat Thanksgiving. (And some day I will form sentences in Vietnamese but for now I'm still trying to get comfortable.)
    Thanks again, Annie!

    Hi Annie can you explain the phrase ‘bằng tuổi nằm duỗi mà ăn’

    • @muditaupeksha3684
      @muditaupeksha3684 Год назад +2

      Hi, here is an explanation: most Vietnamese people believe in the Chinese zodiac prediction (due to the history), so "bằng tuổi" means both husband and wife have the same age (it's calculated by the Lunar Calendar), "nằm duỗi mà ăn" means they don't need to work hard, their marriage kinds of wealthy about the financial. It's just a belief in my opinions, and no one can verify it. Hope it helpful.

      @@muditaupeksha3684 Thank you.
      I understand the translation like
      'bằng tuổi' or 'cùng tuổi' - the same age
      'nằm' - lie / 'nằm duỗi' - like down? similar to 'nằm xuống'?
      'ăn'- eat
      'mà' - but
      Would a literal translation into English be...
      'If the same age, lie down and eat' with the idiomatic meaning being like you explained?

      @@elfinzilla ​ I can't judge your translation, because I'm not English native speaker, I'm Vietnamese. I think you should find any English idiom that has similar meaning to talk about the luck of money for husband and wife in the marriage because they are the same age. For example: "Có công mài sắt có ngày nên kim" is similar to "Practice makes perfect". Sorry for my curiosity, I think you're impressed by this idiom, many Vietnamese people might talk like this, but it's not always correct, you should examination it before believe in it and sometimes these idiom affects people's mindset, it's dangerous! It's fun to discuss with you about Vietnamese.

      @@elfinzilla I think a better translation for "nằm duỗi" is to "lay idle", where we interpret "duỗi" meaning to straighten or make straight. In English, it would be grammatically awkward to say "lie straight" but "lay idle" makes more sense.
      If I were to translate this idiom into English, I might say: "Same age, yet lay idle and eat"

    Attention: As Annie is from Saigon her pronunciation is "Ăng" for "Ăn". Clearly not standard.

      @xuano9065 Год назад +4

      there is no alternative for this word if you follow the rules. ăn is actually pronounced exactly like /ăng/ and there is no true /ăn/ but we write down ăn.
