The pronunciation of Vietnamese words and phrases in this mini-phrasebook is given approximately. It is not recommended to actively use these words and phrases, since if the intonation is incorrect, the meaning of what was said can be greatly distorted. This is due to the fact that the Vietnamese language is a tonal language and it would seem that the same word, but, said differently, means completely different things and concepts.
The "g" sound at the end of a word is not pronounced clearly. If two “a” sounds are written, then this means just an elongated “a”. The sound "x" after "t" is pronounced weakly.

At the top of the image, the inscription in large letters in Vietnamese means "Dong Xuan Market" (Cho - market). In the lower part - "Hanoi Station". The word "ga" (station) comes from the French "gare".

Electronic phrasebooks

With the development of compact electronic devices, they began to “sew” voice electronic translation programs, briefly called electronic phrasebooks. The same term applies to the devices themselves, the only function of which is electronic interpretation.
Electronic transfers are also carried out by other devices, such as smartphones or tablet computers, if they provide the appropriate hardware and software functionality.

Electronic phrasebooks can also be used as mini-tutorials of a foreign language.

Some models of electronic phrasebooks contain programs and vocabulary databases for translating several dozen languages ​​in various directions. They are especially attractive for those who travel a lot and often. different countries. Their cost is in the range of $150-200.

The modern Vietnamese script Chữ Quốc Ngữ (literally "national script") based on the Latin alphabet was developed in the 17th century, but became widely used much later - only at the beginning of the 20th century.

Throughout the entire period of the existence of the Vietnamese state and until the beginning of the 20th century, Vietnam used Chinese characters(the Vietnamese name is “hanvan”), as well as the Vietnamese script Chữ Nôm (lit. “folk script”) developed on their basis. At first, this writing was used exclusively for recording geographical names and personal names, but over time, tyn began to spread throughout the country and penetrate into other areas of life, in particular, into literature. Since the XIV century, tyyn began to be used in administrative documents. Over the centuries, this script has become a tool for creating many masterpieces of Vietnamese literature.

The earliest piece of Vietnamese literature that has come down to us, written in Thien, is Thien Tong Ban Hanh, which dates back to the 13th-14th centuries. The poem "Kieu" ("Kim Van Kieu") by Nguyen Du (1766-1820) is one of the exceptional creations of Vietnamese literature.

In the first half of the 17th century, on the basis of the work done earlier in the Far East by French, Spanish missionaries and Vietnamese Christians, a Latin-based alphabet was developed for recording Vietnamese texts, which, in fact, is still used in Vietnam today.

In 1651, the Catechism and the capital Vietnamese-Portuguese-Latin lexicon with a lengthy phonetic and grammatical essay were already published in Rome.

While hanvan (Chinese) served the official side of the state, primarily the life of the imperial court and its ritual, the work of officials, the Academy of Literature and the system of competitive examinations, and Vietnamese texts were created in tyin (local hieroglyphic writing), mainly in the field of artistic literature, the new writing became multifunctional: it united all aspects of the life of the Christian diaspora.

During the domination of colonial France in Vietnam, absolute priority in development was given to the national Vietnamese language. AT late XIX- At the beginning of the 20th century, the Vietnamese intelligentsia, advocating the modernization of the country, considered it necessary to officially introduce the phonetic letter Quoc Ngy (picture on the right).

In 1910, writing on the Latin basis, in which tones are indicated by diacritical marks, received official status.

If during the dominance of hieroglyphic writing, education and literacy were overwhelmingly the property of men (there were extremely few women who received an education, and they belonged to a privileged class), then in modern society the situation has changed dramatically. Moreover, the traditional Confucian teacher of “Chinese literacy” (thầy đò) was replaced by the typical image of a young teacher elementary school(cô giáo), whose prerogative became the pedagogical process.

By the middle of the 20th century, an interesting process of spiritual unification of different generations of Vietnamese studying quoc ngy was observed. At the same time, teenagers who had already learned a new literacy were often teachers of their older relatives and comrades in the evening classes of educational program for adults.

The modern Vietnamese alphabet has 29 letters:


The main difference from Latin letters is the addition of diacritics to the vowels at the top and bottom of the letter. This is done because of the need to correctly label each of the six tones. That is, depending on the intonation (tone) with which the word is pronounced, it can have up to six meanings.

Vietnamese phonetic writing is the language of modern fiction, science, education, government administration, daily friendly and official communication. Written in any language of the world, including non-hieroglyphic texts, texts can be translated into Quoc Ngy with ease and grace.

Calligraphy of kuok ngy on bamboo (picture on the right). The Fourteen Commandments of the Buddha: 1. Most big enemy in a person's life is himself. 2. The biggest stupidity in a person's life is a lie. 3. The biggest defeat in a person's life is arrogance. 4. The biggest sadness in a person's life is envy. 5. The biggest mistake in a person's life is to lose oneself. 6. The greatest guilt in a person's life is ingratitude. 7. The most worthy regret in a person's life is the belittling of one's dignity. 8. Most admirable in a person's life, to rise after a fall. 9. The biggest loss in a person's life is the loss of hope. 10. The greatest asset in a person's life is health and reason. 11. The biggest duty in a person's life is sincere feelings. 12. The greatest gift in a person's life is generosity. 13. The biggest flaw in a person's life is misunderstanding. 14. The greatest consolation in a person's life is good deeds. Source: http://www.nhat-nam.ru/

The Quoc Ngy letter serves as a unifying factor for Vietnamese compatriots living abroad. Due to the fact that the Latin alphabet is taken as the basis in their own alphabet, the Vietnamese learn European languages ​​more easily, and foreigners quickly master Vietnamese, again thanks to familiar letters.

Grammar, morphology of the Vietnamese language

Vietnamese is a tone language. It has six tones: high even, descending smooth (or falling), descending-ascending (acute interrogative), ascending-descending (interrogative), ascending, sharply descending (heavy). Vietnamese is a monosyllabic language: morpheme (or root) boundaries usually coincide with syllable boundaries.

Vietnamese is an isolating language. This means that grammatical relations are expressed mainly by word order and auxiliary words.
The author of this text, as well as many of his Vietnamese colleagues, generally consider the Vietnamese language to be one of the most remarkable languages ​​in the world. The parts of speech here do not change either by cases, or by persons, or by numbers - in no way. The words here just don't change.

For education, for example, comparative degree adjective, a special auxiliary particle is used: đẹp - beautiful, đẹp hơn - more beautiful. Verb tenses are formed in the same way: before the verb, a particle is used - an indicator of the present, past or future tense: viết - write, đã viết - wrote, đang viết - I am writing, sẽ viết - I will write. And forget about English with it complex system times or French with its feminine and masculine articles!

In Vietnamese, the definition always comes after the word it defines: cô đẹp — beautiful girl(lit. beautiful girl). The vast majority of Vietnamese words are monosyllabic, and therefore one might get the impression that in the Vietnamese language all words in writing are divided into syllables...

Vietnamese vocabulary

As a result of long-term Chinese influence on Vietnam, most of the Vietnamese vocabulary in the field of science and politics is borrowed from the Chinese language. Up to 70 percent of all words in modern Vietnamese have Chinese roots. Although many of them are composite and include native Vietnamese words and Chinese loanwords. Most of the roots are also borrowed from the Thai language, which allowed some time ago to put forward a theory about the relationship of the Vietnamese and Thai languages. As a result of French colonization, a large proportion of Vietnamese words have French roots. They also left a mark in Vietnamese, English and Russian.

Since Vietnamese uses the Latin alphabet, when borrowing words from English, French and other Romance languages, there is no need to rewrite them in katakana (as in Japanese) or look for similar-sounding hieroglyphs, as is done in Chinese. Nevertheless, the Vietnamese language has developed its own system of adaptation foreign words to the sound principles of the Vietnamese language. For example:

  • Panfilov, V. S. Grammar structure of the Vietnamese language / V. S. Panfilov. M., 1993.
  • Remarchuk, V.V. Phonetic writing on the Latin basis as a system-forming factor of modern Vietnamese culture: abstracts. report // Institute of Asia and Africa at Moscow State University, Lomonos. reading-2003.

  • Today we want to share really useful phrases in Vietnamese. This will be very useful when, upon arrival in Vietnam, you come, for example, to a market or a store. The Vietnamese mostly do not know English, rather they will know a few words in Russian. However, if you show respect for their culture and country with your knowledge of some phrases, it will help you to lower the price and win them over.



    The Vietnamese language is very difficult to perceive "by ear" because it contains many vowels and each of them can contain 6 keys. You have to have an almost musical ear to catch all these subtleties. For the Vietnamese, the Russian language is extremely difficult, because it contains a lot of hard, hissing and voiced consonants. But we will not bother our heads again and present you with some really useful phrases:



    "Hello" - xing tiao
    "Goodbye" - there beats
    "Yes Yes
    "No" - hong
    "Thank you" - KAM ON
    "Thank you very much" - KAM ON NIE "U
    "What is the price?" - bao NIE "U
    "Ice" - yes
    "Bread" - bang mi
    "Iced Tea" - cha yes
    "Coffee with ice and condensed milk" - cafe su yes
    "The Score" - Tinh Tien
    Addressing the waiter or anyone - uh oh
    "Rice" - com
    "Fish" - ka
    "Chicken" - ha
    "Beef" - Bo Zero Hong
    "One" -Mot
    "Two" - Hai
    "Three" - Ba
    "Four" - Bon
    "Five" - ​​Nam
    "Six" - Sau
    "Seven" - Bai
    "Eight" - There
    "Nine" - Tien
    "Ten" - Muoi



    In my opinion, the Vietnamese language is very difficult. Harder than ours. The Russian hearing aid is not accustomed to perceive speech in which there are many different tones. People with good hearing, with a musical education, who are accustomed to distinguishing tones and semitones, successfully master the Vietnamese language. Trying to pronounce something in Vietnamese and neglecting the tonality, you can get into a mess.
    Vietnamese words do not change for gender, person, number, or case. The definition comes after the word being defined: rong wang "golden dragon".
    The most common sentence pattern is: subject + predicate + object. Example: toy muon an-chya "I want to have lunch".
    Question words what, how, where and others may be at the end of the sentence. It would be more correct in Vietnamese: "where is the hotel?", and not "where is the hotel?".
    The letters F, J, W and Z are used only for writing foreign titles and given names. Tones are indicated by diacritics above and below vowels. In total, 134 additional characters are used in modern Vietnamese writing, not counting the usual Latin letters. The combination ch reads [t]; tr [h]; nh [n]; r, gi, d are pronounced like [з].

    I can’t imagine how you can understand the language, where it’s not easy to say hello:

    Hello - xin tiao (the sound "t" is pronounced as the average between "h" and "t"). This greeting is the most universal and most commonly used.
    Its varieties:
    when referring to a man under 40-45 years old - Tiao an!
    when referring to a woman under 40-45 years old - Tiao ti!
    when referring to an elderly man / elderly woman - Tiao om! / Tiao ba!
    ... sir/mistress - Tiao om!/tiao ba!
    ... friend — Tiao bang!
    ... when referring to the younger in age - Tiao um!
    ... when referring to a child - Tiao chiau!
    When referring to a group of people, the word is added how denoting the plural.
    ... when referring to men - Tiao kak_an / kak_om! (depending on age)
    ... when referring to women - Tiao kak_ti / kak_ba! (depending on age)
    ... when referring to men and women, if representatives of both sexes are present - Tiao kak_an, kak_ti (kak_om, kak_ba)!
    ... friends (gentlemen, lord and lady, comrades) - Tiao kak_ban (kak_om, om_ba, kak_dom_ti)!

    Once I tried to say hello to the receptionist (xing tiao), and she looked at me somehow strangely. Then I just said “hello” to her in Russian - she smiled and chirped something. Recently, it was explained to me on the net that if I said it in the usual Russian manner of greeting (slightly upbeat and friendly), most likely it sounded like “give me porridge” to her.

    Therefore, it is better in sign language.

    Another way out is all possible online/offline translators. The Internet is fine in Vietnam, so this is the best remedy.

    At worst, you can print out a tourist phrasebook and (no, there’s nothing to even try to say) show the Vietnamese the phrase written in the middle column:
