I just started studying Vietnamese. It seems like rather simple words are not appearing in Vdict dictionary. For example, "America" and "Đạ" Both these words appear in the first chapter of my book, but are not in the dictionary. Why is that?
Words not in the dictionary
I just started studying Vietnamese. It seems like rather simple words are not appearing in Vdict dictionary. For example, "America" and "Đạ" Both these words appear in the first chapter of my book, but are not in the dictionary. Why is that?
i'm Vietnamese , i also haven't seen "Đạ" before .
I think you should ask your Vietnamese teacher or read it again .
Sorry, the word I meant to say was "Dạ"Originally Posted by dethuong_x0x
As I said before, "Mỹ" is also not in the Vdict dictionary.
Mỹ: (adj) đẹp
- fair, beautiful ; (handsome, đẹp trai; pretty, đẹp gái; mỹ nhân, beautiful person; mỹ nữ, beautiful girl)
Mỹ: (n)
- cái đẹp; nhan sắc, beauty
- mỹ thuật, act
- America, American
Mỹ mãn (rare) be satisfied
Dạ: (interjection) yes (to use it when we say with older people or superior)
Dạ: (n) ( lòng dạ) heart, in one's heart;
Dạ: (n) felt (a kind of cloth)
Dạ: (n) (rare) night (Chinese-Vietnam language)
Dạ: Units of weights and measures of the West region of Vietnam people. It's about 0.1 metre block.
If we couple this two words together we'll have "mỹ dạ". It means kindness or kindheart.
Good luck!

Xin cho toi hoi : Co phai chu DA.= Night la chu DA. trong chu DA. HO^.i khong ? Vay DA. QUANG chac cung la chu thuoc trong nhom nay , phia khong?
Chính xác, đây là chữ dạ trong dạ hội ( tiệc đêm ) , dạ quang ( phát sáng trong bóng tối). " thiên dạ hàn" trong 1 bài thơ của Đỗ Phủ có nghĩa là "ngàn đêm lạnh". Trong một bài thơ của Hồ Chí Minh có một câu " Nhất thứ kê đề dạ vị lan" dịch ra là "gà gáy một lần đêm chửa tan".
"Đoạn" Từ điển trên là do em tự biên soạn, nếu có sai sót xin các huynh, tỷ chỉ giáo.
Thụ ân!

Thank you very much, Livelong. Does "Dạ Không" mean "yes" or "no" (if in response to a "phải kh̀̉ông" question)?
No, it doesn't.
Dạ không = no, thanks!
= no, noun/pronoun be not ( no, I'm not)
= no, noun/pronoun do/does/did not ( no, he didn't)
Good luck

Examples of "phải không":Thank you very much, Livelong. Does "Dạ Không" mean "yes" or "no" (if in response to a "phải kh̀̉ông" question)?
_ It is a beautiful day, isn't it? Hôm nay là một ngày đẹp trời, phải không (or "không phải sao")?
_ You did it, didn't you? Là mày làm, phải không?
"Dạ" here doesn't mean anything. It is more like an expression. "Dạ phải", "dạ không", "dạ vâng", "dạ đúng", "dạ, chào ông", "dạ thưa bà" ... When "Dạ" is used, it shows your respectful attitude towards somebody, or it is simply a polite way to say things.
Sometimes, "dạ" is considered as a confirmation:
_ Are you a student? Dạ (yes, I am a student)
_ He didn't go to school, did he? Dạ (your saying is correct, he didn't go to school)
to Jama .
I think it because the Viet_English in Vdict hasn't been perfect yet , so if you have anything that needed you can post your quest in here . There are some expert people as Sang56, Livelong or Trunnie .... they will help you out. Have a great Vietnamese Learning.( fix me if you see my Enghlish got wrong, my thanks)
