hey ummm yeah i was just wondering if u guys could help me on a lil etiquette(like behaviour) yeah like well the only question i have basically is like wat would u call like friends parents when u have to say hi like do u say like chao chu or chao bac or wat n so on and yeah same with other stuff like chao ba or chao ong or wat eva thanks

"Chao bac" would do just fine.

can i see some chao bac?

You sau chao chu or chao co when u know that the friends parents are younger than yours, if they're older, then you say chao bac. If your not sure, then you just say chao bac.

It also depends on how old you are. If you're like 15, 16 it's best to Chao Bac. But if you're 20+ Chao Co, Chao Chu even if they're older than your parents would be appropriate. And if they're in their 60s, then Chao Bac or Ong/Ba.

Also remember to say "da -ya" in every sentence

Chao Co/Chu to people like 30-45ish
Chao Bac to old people

i would say Chao May to anyone older, that is the best way to do it

How rude

Wouldn't something as simple as a smile and a "Hi" be enough? What's up with the formality?

ok wat if ya parents dunn no da ppl n so ther like ya friends parents wat do u say then still chao chu n chao co or sumin else?

And remember to do that half bow

how do u spell that in Vietnamese....Tur? Tu?

I say "Hello. That would do it. However, if the person is a young, pretty & sexy Viet girl, I'll say "choi oi, sao em dep qua ..."
