"You and me" in Vietnamese Recently, I have had the honor of teaching Vietnamese for 2 foreigners. I was excited with the first lesson with pronouns. I feel more proud of my country and my languages. In Vietnamese, we can use many words have the same meaning with "I", such as "tôi", "tớ", "mình", "tao" and so on... Each word has the different shape which writer want to send to readers. Moreover, the normal way to call each other depends on the ages. That's a diffirent culture from other countries. Therefore, the alternative words of "you" are "bạn"/ "các bạn" (plural). We also call "cháu - bác" with the older person than your father. We use "cháu - cô (women)/ chú (men) who younger than your father. "Em - chị/ anh" are used with the older peopld than us. That's complicated but amazing. Thus, writers not only put their feeling into their writings but also show their attitude to the problems they mention without any direct words
