    That’s the biggest challenge I’m facing now in studying Vietnamese as a foreigner. I love Vietnam very much. I’v been to the Ha Noi, Ha Long Bay, Da Nang and Hoi An, etc.
    And I want to go to HCMC and Da Lat later. Tentatively I’m planning to stay in Da Lat when I retire during the winter season of Korea due to fine dust pollution. I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, clean air and cool temperature there. But as far as I know, the people in Da Lat use kind of southern Accent which worries me. I’v been studying Vietnamese by myself through the Internet lectures with a female teacher from northern area. So naturally learning Northern Accent. Sadly, here in Korea, it’s not easy to find Vietnamese lectures being taught in Southern Accent. So I have to Learn Southern Dialect when I actually stay in Da Lat. Anyway, good video. Em luôn vui vẻ, hạnh phúc.😘😘

    Actually there are lots of same words in English that have different meanings between England and the US, or even different parts of the US! But usually not for things as basic as a fork or a plate. :-)
    A flat in England is an apartment in the US, but in England an “apartment” is more of a luxury flat. And a “flat” (as a noun) in the US could be a flat piece of land, a flat container, the flat part of your hand, or even flat shoes (no heels). Not things that people would live in, so it wouldn’t be too confusing. :-).
    What Brits call biscuits we call cookies in the US, and our biscuits are something else altogether. That does confuse people!
    And a “rubber” - that’s the British word for what we call an “eraser”, while in the US a “rubber” is a prophylactic. Many an English exchange student has gotten an unintended laugh for asking for one of those!

    So from those few examples, it seems northern style is more literal and precise, while the southern dialect is less literal and figure of speech. Is it like that overall?

    • @tranhuy4624
      @tranhuy4624 4 роки тому +3

      Nah! It's just a dialect thing. The same can be said of American English and British English. A very good example to to make it more relatable would be the pair of "bum bag and fanny pack", which refer to the same object. So we all know that "bum" is a person's bottom and it is commonly used by both British and American. The funny thing here is that in British English, the word "fanny" is actually an old word referring to a woman's private area. So though innocent as it may sound, the word "fanny pack" would have this connotation of "stuffing a vagina" to a Brit. And this whole thing of differences between the two dialects makes the American the butt of all jokes for the Brit again and again to no end. And no offense to our Southern brothers and sisters, but they do unintentionally sound funny to us the northern folks all the time.
      Hope this help!
      Cheers!

      I mean not really? Like they're 2 separate dialects and will have there own words for certain things, and you have to consider the history behind it as well! Before 1965, south vietnam was its own separate country, tho it doesn't really make much of a difference. The northern dialect is considered the 'standard' since the government is based in the north, so all southern kids will know the northern equivalents, not sure about vice versa tho? Her analogy to British and American english is pretty much what it is :))
      The southern dialect is usually described as 'gentler' and 'smoother' as the tones are kinda liaised together? You can't really hear it in this video cause she's a northern person and obv pronounces everything with a northern accent :))

    Differences between Tieng Bac and Tieng Nam are what make the language so interesting.
    Other languages also have regional variations which can be confusing.
    Example: 恨 means 'to hate' in Mandarin, but 'to want something badly' in Cantonese. In Cantonese, 恨嫁 means (a woman) wanting to get married badly, but Mandarin speakers could misunderstand it.

    cha gio is pronounced similar to "ja yo", where the j & y is similar to the j & y in English. saying it like how you said might confuse southern Vietnamese people more. But if people have friends in Southern Vietnam, there should be no problems. In the south, the terms might be influenced by Chinese, French, English, etc... but they must learn the official Hanoi dialectal terms in school. There shouldn't be a communication problem as long as southerners remembered to use the northern terms when their friends visit HCMC. My wife tells me the Central dialect is so hard in their vocabulary being so different from north and south and the tones are a mix between the the northern and southern tones. When a person from Central Vietnam speaks, nobody from Northern or Southern Vietnam can understand what is being said.
