Question

I would like to say "Welcome" to everyone arriving, as if addressing the whole Vietnamese Community. How would I say this?

Community Answer

Vietnamese do not just say "welcome." They would greet everyone formally, as in, "Xin chào tất cả quý vị!" (quý vị = ladies and gentlemen) .

Question

How do I say "yes please" or "no thank you"?

Community Answer

No thank you: không nhờ bạn (köng nuh ban) Yes please: vâng làm ơn (vang lan ung) Be careful with the tones. It's best to search how different symbols represent different tones and see how they are said.

If she is younger than you, then say "Xin chào em, em khoẻ không?" If she is older than you, change both of the "em" to "chị".
