how do you say 'Hi, how are you? I hope you're doing well. Thanks for being a good friend.'

and 'can i be your angel?'

This is all said from a younger girl to an older guy

It would be alot of help thank u so much

You say:

Cai lon ma mày = Can I be your angel.
Tao bop vu may bay gio = Hi, how are you? I hope you're doing well. Thanks for being a good friend.

Very short. Enjoy!



........

LOL @ PB. 2 I don't think it works.

Even if I post the Vietnamese translation here, you won't pronounce it properly if you can't read Vietnamese.

How about "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?" Don't need to be poetry, everyone understand the international language of love.

bad advice

You'll make a fool of yourself saying those things, it's not practical in vietnamese to saying those things anyways. What is practical is: Cu anh bu*. ba`ng nao? Cho em bop' duoc khong? = Do you have a big heart? Open your heart for me.

Look at his post name...and you can guess the type of things he told you to say. Take his advice at your own peril. I could translate...but you probably don't want me to.


Hmm...can someone help this girl. I don't know how you would be able to pronounce 'Hi, how are you? I hope you're doing well. Thanks for being a good friend.' and 'can i be your angel?'
though since you don't know how to read Vietnamese. Perhaps it can be phonetically written? Anyhow, it's a very cheesy line...it might just work though...the guy will go awww... ....is that what you're going for with this older guy?

hahaha...lol..yup them sayings sure does have alot of meaning to it...hahaah...even more than that..dont worry..he/she just gona turn around and walk away..puahaha

arent you cambodian ?

No, he's black. He just enjoys Cambodian culture and its ladies. 2 J/p PB. He's black. I think.

lemme give it a try...

cha`o anh, anh kho?e kho^ng? ca'm o*jn anh da~ la`m mo^.t ngu*o*`i ba.n ra^'t to^'t

and the 2nd one

cho em la`m tie^n cho anh du*o*.c ho^ng?

haha iono but this last one doesn't sound right

i dont want it spelled correctly or whatever i just wanna know how to say it

you mean thie^n tha^`n?

Umm, this is the phonetic way of saying the sentences. Take my advice at your own demise. Any full and fluent viets - feel free to correct me.


OR just take vietsweeti's translation:

Jowl un. un are kwaa com? Garm mern un - la ngeiu baan ruck la dorght!

j-aw am lam tiien tan gor un com?

^^ wtf did you just write? It's not even close. Man, I'm so shocked at what you just threw out I don't even know how to begin to diss your writing/pronunciation...

look gertrude, i said its the phonetic way of saying it i.e for the thread starter, to which tonal symbols and the vietnamese writing system are abit foreign to her, will be able to pronounce it. Jeez. It's what she asked *raises middle finger"

I know what you are trying to me, but it's still not even close, you piece of....... And giving me the finger? You think I care that you are a girl? Why don't you try learning viet before you disgraceful kid. Grow some pubic hair before you run your mouth.

What did you just say? What's with these mindless rhetorics?

Who are you to call me a disgraceful kid, "vietpunk"? you know nothing about me, my age or my circumstance so don't try to seem the elder that you're not.
I simply answered the thread-starter's question, putting the sentences in english-pronunciations, disregarding the actual spelling, which in this case is redundant because without knowlege of the vietnamese tonal system, it would be hard to decipher and pronounciate simultaneously.

here's some rhetorics for you : *raises middle finger* -again

*bites it off*

Ask anyone if your "english pronunciation" sounds even close to what it is suppose to be. And judging the way to write, it's ovbious you are a kid. Respect your elder you rude @$$. Give me the finger and I'll give you the fingers in my avatar.

Thats like saying, jusging by that lame-@$$ pose in your avatar, you are a.... hick, i won't go further.
Judging by the way YOU write, you seem to be an obnoxious, self-righteous prick. But I try to keep that to myself.

Well I attempted to provide the phonetic spelling. I tried, alright? You dissed it so YOU provide one which could be used by a person with NO knowlege of tonal attributes whatsoever.

You seem to need it as much as anybody. And my pic looks like a hick? wtf, why don't you post some pics up. If only I can see you in real life I'd give you a slap across the face. I hope you get breast cancer and become infertile.

Here's an example of your stupidity:
you wrote :j-aw am lam tiien tan gor un com?
and while you try to " vietsweetie: cho em la`m tie^n cho anh du*o*.c ho^ng?

j-aw = cho -- not even close
am = em -- why did u need to change this? em as in eminem is already good. am is not
tiien= the double i's realluy help huh?
tan= tan as in you got a beach tan? not even close
gor= w-t-f?
un= ?? confused.
com= yes i like rice, yes you have cum all over

Yes, you seem to radiate maturity, oh wise one.

MAYBE, 'em' will sound like eminent with an accent of someone from tennessee. But 'am' comes close to how I pronounce it.

I'm basing this on how I pronounce it. of course its not accurate, because I don't think the phonetic version will ever compensate for the actual spelling. Get off my case.

Plus, my mom is from the north, so mine are based on bac pronounciation. Yes, I mad afew mistakes, i'll correct 'tan' with 'tun'.

But YOU are avoiding the real issue. YOU provide a phonetic version, stop analysing and picking out every single one of MINE. *cough* control freak *cough*

okay just if you may, by chance, have missed some pointers:
1/ I am english as in, my 'dialect', if you will are to the oxford standard.
2/ My cultural lineage traces to North Vietnam so there are linguistic variations.

There's some contextual considerations you may like to take.

You belittling me with your sad excuse of diversion? go to hell, b!tch, I hope you get prostate cancer and die by suicide because you had to get a d!ck amputation.

^^ nice girl huh? No wonder even asiaphiles don't even want you. I don't know where the hell part of north you are from because I know northern accent, and I know bac.'s em is not am. Ohh God, someone come and tell this kid she is wrong. Even my 12 year old sister is laughing at her posts.

And read what she wrote about me coming from tennessee....does that make any connections? Seriously grow up and stop acting like a little b!tch. Look at yourself, you like to practice being vulgar, girl?

Yeah, bring on the lame-@$$ assumptions. Never once did I say I was nice. See? You totally divert the issue, making yourself to be high and mighty



Well ARE YOU from the north? If you aren't then STFU. don't judge me when you don't have the credentials.


Calling me Kid, supposed to make you feel superior? Yes, I'm glad you and your 12 year old sister got kicks from a post in a forum on the NET. hey, how about next time you make some bigot @$$ post, I'll call my mom, dad and family to come over and laugh at you. Hell, I'll even call my great-aunt from zimbabwe.


Are you fu-king illiterate? I said, 'em' as in 'eminent' sounds NOTHING LIKE the vietnamese 'em' where I come from since YOU asked me why I chaged it to 'am' instead. do you fu-king understand now? Thats why I brought it up, it was nothing of a personal attack to you, just pointing out reasoning which (I'll be an @$$ like you and judging by your misinterpretation) illiterate assclowns like you fail to comprehend.




Okay 'Vietpunk'. I'll grow up (this coming from the big kahuna of maturity)


Please excuse be as I puke on your sneakers. In comparison to you, I am devine mannerisms. You calling me vulgar would be hypocritical, no? "cum all over your face", ring a bell? you self-contradicting bigot asswipe.


I'm gonna utilize your my ignore function now. just so you know incase you might come back and tell me about how your little sister had laughed after you showed her my post.

my guess is that you will be sending this to him in a letter, card, or email? If you are going to say it to him, then I reccommend you not to do so since there's no way for us to show you how to pronounce it.
Anyway here my attempt in translating it.

"Cha`o anh, anh co' kho?e kho^ng? Mong la` anh kho?e. Ca?m o*n anh da~ la`m mo^.t ngu*o*`i ba.n to^'t vo*'i em.
va` co' the^? em la`m thie^n tha^`n cu?a anh du*o*.c kho^ng?"

it sounds cheesy but coming from a girl i think it'd be cute.

I don't mind if I am vulgar, I just thought you might care to act lady like, I guess not. And both my parents are from the north, just to tell you. Tell me, if you pronouce em as am, then how do you pronounce am?

damnit, ignore function won't work so to answer your question, you misunderstand:

the vietnamese 'em' sounds similar to the english way of pronouncing 'am', so I think you might like to ask me how to pronounce the english compound of 'em' as in 'eminent', instead. It's hard to explain but the 'e' is not dominant as the american way of pronouncing it, therefore it sounds nothing like the vietnamese 'em'. That's why I changed it.

No no no. If you take em from eminem, that's how you are supposed to say it already. Vietnamese em is not the same as english am.

I am cool
Eminem is white

Please tell me how you say each word in both languages. I did not disunderstand you. Am is am, em is em, for both languages (soundwise). Tell me how you pronouce "am" in vietnamese. How does it different from your em?

Oh, I see. sorry, I misunderstood.

Vietnamese: 'em' English pronounciation: 'am' (albeit, more drawled out and the 'a' is more defined)

Vietnamese: 'am' English pronounciation: 'um'/'arm'

it's not exactly accurate since obviously the only way to demostrate is by verbally saying it, but it'll suffice enough.

oh yah, it's I (cranberrijooce), my sister forgot to sign out

LOL okay you two stop with it, you scare topic starter away. There is definately something in the air between you two (love?), why don't you take it to PM

lol. that is genuine.

anyways, most of the translations here are too literal and do not actually sound natural in a relationship between good friends

something more like this will avoid awkward formalities:

chào anh, giờ này anh sao? hy vọng anh cũng khẻo mạnh. anh có biết em mừng lắm khi được anh làm bạn?

cho em làm người tri âm của anh đi - hihi? (add cute giggle here - no jk)

literally it means:
hello (guy), how are you these days. hope that you are doing well. do you know that i am very happy to have to as a friend.

wont you let me be your soul mate?

dont take the literal translation out of context (as it does sound weird in english), because there are certain cultural influences with each language. usage of angel isnt very romantic or common in vietnamese amongst normal language, though it does appear in lyrical music.

You are totally looking the words in a wrong way, especially the second one. a-m = arm?!! Pronouce it out with northern accent, which is the official correct way of speaking vietnamese.. a-m = am in English as well.

Dude, he's trying to help out the girl. YOU'RE not doing any better. If you can better handle on the language...then spell it out phonetically...anyhow...valiant effort ...it's hard to write things phonetically...To the person requesting help: perhaps you should find a vietnamese person to speak the word to you in person...you probly know someone right?

um...where did YOU come from, uoy kcuf.

Ah stop your crying, fool.

Did you even read what i wrote?

The reason I brought up all that crap about tennessee is because the way i say 'arm'/'um' sounds a hella lot different from how YOU say it. I told you I don't holler from the US so obviously there are variations in pronounciation when it comes to english. Capische?

You've been b!tching about all this funnazzle yet you always seem to be a an insatiable incomprehensible fugwit.

Did I say it was accurate? No - the contrary, actually. I said there was no real way to compensate without the tonal symbols and I also said there was no real way to demonstrate without aubible hearing the words being said.

jeez die already.

Hi can you not fight on you birthday thank you,,

No thanks I like living.
Go back to the source of the problem, you wrote:

"OR just take vietsweeti's translation:

Jowl un. un are kwaa com? Garm mern un - la ngeiu baan ruck la dorght!

j-aw am lam tiien tan gor un com?"

now can anyone get anything out of the bolded words? Say it in english, it's not even close. Yet, this girl won't admit about being how wrong she is.

You talk too much $hit for a girl, do you want your birthday to be the same day as the anniversary of your death?

Damn...I think arguing with assholes is pointless. They really think they know something...and they're too dumb to realize otherwise. I think you should just surrender this one to them and move on.

i will say that i dont undastand the "ngeiu" if i read it in english. i think u shud replace "tan" with "tun" instead, but besides that i wud be able to read it.

Where the hell did you come from? Come to start some $hit?

Chào Anh, Anh khoẻ không? Em mong anh khỏe và em rất cám ơn anh đã là một người bạn tốt. Anh nhận em là một đứa em bé bỏng của anh không?

lmao, buncha bad pplz

I'm very sad to see this post. I don't know how can there is such an impolite viet like that. You make me shamed of viet myself.


This one seem good.

I deleted in post. Sorry!

1st , pervert is cambodian or whatever he is ... 2nd , stop saying people make u ashame of being Viet, you are just ashame of what you are ok !! get it straight !! i've seen many of ur post and u keep metioning that , STOP

vietnamese people like yourself makes me ashame to be vietnamese.

Why are you ashame?

She said " Em làm tiên cho anh được không ? " means "can I be your angel ?"

What's so ashame about that ?

I deleted my post SORRY!!!!!!

i was being sarcastic. i do not like people like her, who's so quick in saying 'i'm ashame to be vietnamese' base on what one person of the same ethnicity says. not everyone is perfect but if you're so quick to be ashamed of your own ethnicity each time someone says something not in your liking only shows that you have an inferiority complex about yourself and your people.

delete post.
