Hi! Would appreciate some help translating something. I LOVE my nail salon and my nail tech — she and her colleagues are talented and professional. The one thing I near the nail techs say at the salon ALL THE TIME is “nam ee lam” — what does this mean? Tia!

I started a job at a nail salon. I feel like im not being helpful enough and I would like to be able to communicate with my coworkers and also my boss. She doesn't speak any english and i feel like i frustrate her by not completely understanding what she is explaining to me. Which results in her yelling at me. Im trying my best but i don't know where to start. What are the most important words or phrases that i should learn that would make work go smoother for me and my coworkers and my boss? Edit: I've been using duolingo for 2 months but its not helping. Its not teaching phrases that would help in the nail salon.

Got a comment on my YouTube about my flute playing. First and only comment I've ever received and I can't get Google to translate it. Best I've got so far is sea full of flowers.

Biàn sèqíng guĩ zài liú zài guï zài xiàn fènbiàn sèqing piān bĩng shàngyăn fèn xíng xiàn bĩng shàngyăn bõluó hẽi guĩ guÏ zài fèn

If you speak English and are learning Vietnamese, and you’re looking for someone to practice with, feel free to DM me. I want to improve my English speaking skills too. Let’s help each other!

My parents have to learn German level A2 in about 2 months. I grew up in Germany and am therefore a native speaker, my parents have lived here for over 20 years but have never really learnt German (they have the basics to communicate in everyday life). I am now under pressure to teach them German as quickly as possible and am really grateful for any tips (books, websites, apps, etc.)!

Hi, does anybody have a list of or know any surnames used by the Nguyễn Dynasty? The only ones I know are Nguyễn Phúc, Tôn Thất, Tôn Nữ, and the ones on Minh Mạng's poem.

Hi all, my parents and grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Vietnam and I don’t know all the customs and superstitions that they have. My mom’s side is Buddhist and my dad’s side is Catholic. I’ve been raised Catholic all my life but I still respect the Viet and Buddhist traditions. My cousin (dad’s side) is having a wedding in a couple weeks but my maternal grandfather has recently been put in hospice. It looks like he doesn’t have that many days left.

I gave my cousin a heads up about the issue and she even asked me to do a reading during mass. I told her that if she felt like asking someone else to do it, I would be okay with it because I understand the wedding stress.

If my grandpa passes within the next couple days, the 100 days of mourning applies. Does this mean I shouldn’t go to the wedding? According to some online research, people are not supposed to celebrate anything for 100 days.

I’m having trouble going through this with my grandpa and at the same time, I keep worrying about my cousin’s wedding. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

This video best sums up who this Feli From Germany lady is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnN10ETi1kQ

If you're not getting the hint already from the video, Feli From Germany is a Youtuber currently living in America of German citizenry who makes Youtube content about life in Germany and often compares it to life in the USA. She touches various different stuff from daily cultural norms to intro stuff about the big companies and businesses of Germany and so much more. Every other week she'll post a video about the German languages and its basic rules like how to pronounce words correctly and pointing out how Americans get it wrong, basic conjugation rules, etc nothing too complicated but enough for people unfamiliar with German culture to learn stuff about. She'll also do a video every once in a blue moon comparing Germany with Austria and Switzerland about various different subjects like different accents of the places or the differences in food, sometimes she'll even touch within Austria and Switzerland the different regional varieties of various aspects like architecture and folklore (which she already does plenty of concerning just Germany alone).

So I'm wondering who'd be the Vietnam's version of Feli? Preferably if possible a Youtuber content who's not only quite active enough to upload at least one new vid a week but also had lived in America, if not even actually living there right now just like Feli? Hopefully diverse enough in discussed subjects to even do some content every now and then about other regions such as Mường Thanh or Tây Nguyên and not just the famous Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City tourists centers? I learned so much already about Germany from Feli's channel so I'd hope to find her counterpart from Vietnam!

Im sorry i have to say this again pho 🍲 is way too good ill kiss the feet of every vet grandma at this point 🥹🙏🏽

Hi all! I have been watching vietnamese video recently and did not know what the actors are saying while they work on bed... Maybe instead, can any expert let me know the vietnam version of the below phrases? As I can find any accurate translation from any translator...

"Fuck me harder" "you are so hot" "You looks sexy" "Do you like it?"

Thank you in advance!!

I don’t speak Vietnamese for the record but I’m visiting Vietnam rn and i had this thought.

lời chào cao hơn mâm cỗ. It is some kind of proverb, and if so, is there any alternative on English?

I'm half vietnamese and not completely fluent but want to know more about this song and origin. My family is from Saigon or mien tay area.

When I was little, relatives would sing this song to me.

They would lie down on the floor or bed like in the situp position like you're bout to do crunches with your knees bent, and I would sit on their shins and they would lift me up with their legs and sing this song. I don't know how to spell all the words right and I can't seem to find the entire song online. It goes something like
"Xích đu tiên kiếm tiền cưới vợ...o dau ma an" I'm not sure about that last part. can someone tell me what the whole song is about and is it just something like a nursery rhyme? where does it come from?

Thanks!

I was thinking about getting a Dong Song drum tattoo, but wasn’t sure if it was appropriate of me to get one since majority of my family is from the south.

I love the design. I love what it symbolizes. I’m just wondering if it’s inappropriate/controversial if I were to get one.

Anh Hoàn và chị Thu nà con của ông Trung và bà Ly.
