    Actually, <em>"sự"</em> has nothing to do with <em>"the"</em>. <em>"Rich" (giàu)</em> and <em>"poor" (nghèo)</em> are not nouns but adjectives in English. <em>"The rich"</em> and <em>"the poor"</em> mean <em>"people who are rich/poor"</em> while <em>"sự giàu có"</em> and <em>"sự nghèo nàn"</em> mean <em>"richness"</em> and <em>"poorness"</em>, respectively. So, as you can see, <em>"sự"</em> is a nominalizer while <em>"the"</em> is an article, adding <em>"sự"</em> before a part of speech will form a noun. The most popular nominalizers in Vietnamese are <em>"sự"</em> and <em>"việc"</em> (their usages are a little different), and we have the word <em>"sự việc"</em> too. In other cases (quân sự, hậu sự,...),<em> "sự"</em> is an unseperated part of the word (not semantically though) so you just have to learn those words.

    Well, saying you can use "em" for people who are younger than you is inexact. In fact, you use "em" for people who are: - Your younger brothers/sisters and your parents' younger brothers/sisters' children... (even if they are older than you). - Younger than you about 10 years old or less, just younger is NOT enough, an oldman can not call a baby "em". - Your girlfriend(s)/wife(s)/lover(s)/sexual partner(s) (even if they are older than you). In some cases, you can use "em" to devalue a person, be careful though, also can you with closely related friends for joking only. And of course, you call yourself "em" vice versa.

    4/10/2012 Tiếng Việt

    Chào mọi người! Ngày mai tôi đa sẽ đi xem hoà nhạc của Lynard Skynard. Nhạc của Lynard Skynard rãt rất tuyệt! (the music is great, cuncon's correction is <em>"Ban</em><em> nhạc Lynard Skynard rất tuyệt</em><em>"</em> which means the band is great; you can use either, depends on what you mean) Tôi rãt rất phấn khích.

     

    By the way, I think it's Lynyrd Skynyrd, isn't it?
