Accents and Tones I should probably learn the southern accent, because it seems easier. ma‏ (neutral tone) mà‏ (falling tone) mả - mã‏ (falling, then rising?) má‏ (rising tone) mạ‏ (low tone) thôi đi má‏ (oh come on?)

You're so funny. ^^ "thôi đi má", this is an informal way in speaking, and you're right, this is used in the southern. Although, only "má" and "mà" have the right meaning in this case, it depends on your mooth at the moment when you're talking, "má" is a funny way, and "mà"- a falling tone as you said- when you feel bored, disapointed, or something like that.. Hope you'll learn vietnamese in the southern voice, it's more adorable ^^.
