    Default sentence with two objects.

    Hello,
    It is a problem for me to understand where to place "cho" in a sentence, that has two objects. ( what we in German call an Akkusativ object ( the thing) and a Dativ object ( the person,who gets the thing).And to place the verbs.
    Like this sentence : em gui qua cho chi. Could you instead also say: Em cho gui cho chi? It does not sound right, but what is the rule? I think I have read some where, that it is the same with the word "giup", when you have two objects.
    Sorry, if this sound very confusing.

    Em gởi quà cho chị
    the third word is akkusativ
    the fifth word dativ
    the fourth means TO
    what is the rule?
    a verb, here gởi requires an object (WHAT) quà and another object TO WHO(M) cho chị.
    Giúp WHO FOR WHAT
    Giúp tôi chọn bàn phím tốt HELP ME TO CHOOSE A GOOD KEYBOARD
    Chỉ SHOW, dạy TEACH, biểu ASK… also go with two objects

    Thank you very much. I am glad you understand, what I was asking about.It can be difficult to explain in English.
    I have an extra question to this: "cho" can also add as a verb???? Ex. in a sentence like "Cho toi mot ly cam" , or does a sentence like this not have a verb?
    Thank again,
    Birgit

    cho = LET
    cho = GIVE
    cho = CONSIDER

    Thank you!
    So "cho" is a verb but can act as a kind of preposition in the sentence , you explained for me? Pasted below.
    Would it be possible -teoretic- to say Em cho qua cho chi ?
    Em gởi quà cho chị
    the third word is akkusativ
    the fifth word dativ
    the fourth means TO
    what is the rule?
    a verb, here gởi requires an object (WHAT) quà and another object TO WHO(M) cho chị.

    Your sample may be understood as follows:
    Em chở qua cho chị = YOU CARRY/BRING TO ME
    Em chờ qua chỗ chị = YOU WAIT FOR GOING TO ME
    Em chờ quà cho chị = YOU WAIT FOR THE GIFT TO ME
    Em chờ qua chợ chị = YOU WAIT FOR GOING TO MY MARKET
    Em chớ qua chỗ chị = DON'T PASS BY MY PLACE
    Em chớ qua chợ chị = DON'T PASS BY MY MARKET

    Assume that future tense is used and "em" is the speaker:

    Em (sẽ) gửi quà cho chị = em sẽ gửi cho chị một món quà = Em sẽ gửi cho chị quà = I'll send you a gift = I'll send a gift to you

    Em sẽ gửi qua cho chi = Em (sẽ) gửi cho chị = Em (sẽ) gửi chị = I'll send it to you
