hay guys
is it offensive to call a vietnamese person, a 'viet'?
im hoping that it isnt. it's much quicker to type"viet" than "vietnamese"

No lol
Viet is the name of the Vietnamese ethnic.
When we speak Vietnamese, we refer to ourselves as "Viet people", our language as "Viet language", our food as "Viet food"
The word Vietnam has two parts: Viet and Nam...Viet is the name of the ethnic of the majority of people there, Nam means "south", the geographic location of the country. Vietnam means "Viet in the South"

The word "Nam" in Vietnam indicates the relative location of the country comparing to most other Asian countries (China, Korea, Japan etc...)

Just teasing you.
The "Nam" in Viet Nam means South of China.
The Viet in the South of of China, not Southern Vietnam.

The "Nam" in Viet Nam means South of China.
The Viet in the South of of China, not Southern Vietnam.

in the same sense as Dai Han is the name for korea, though some use Han Quoc but Dai Han litterally means greater Han, or geographically northern han or north of han(china)

^ where's the correlation between the two names? Hàn in Korean and Hán in Chinese are two different words and they sound different also.
