VIT NG M THOI CP 1
- Vietnamese people in social situations do not ask for each others

name since it is considered impolite, especially between a male and
a female. Instead, the name is acquired through a third person. The
questions and responses presented here are for recognition and
situations outside Vietnam.
- Its is more polite to use xin li c, tn c l g? instead of xin
li, tn c l g?.
- Its is polite to address a person as if he (she) is older person. Say
ch Mai, anh Thu instead of just Mai or Thu even though
that person is of the same age. Only in close acquaintance, then we
can address another person by name.
- As for the answer, we should say: tn ti l Mai, not tn ti l
c Mai.

A. M THOI Dialog
1. Mi cm Inviting someone to eat
Ch thch - Notes:
In a Vietnamese family dinner, there are some traditions or rules have been
followed, especially for the young. Here some examples:
- The younger has to invite the elder to eat the food before he is allowed
to eat. This is called mi cm.
- After mi cm, the young should not be the first to take the food to
his plate, but wait for the elder to tell the young to eat.
- The person to take the food from a plate should not be the best piece.
- Do not take the food from a same plate at the same time with another
person, but wait until that person finished with taking the food.
63
VIT NG M THOI CP 1
- When getting soup (canh), one should put down his chopsticks
before holding the soup spoon. Do not hold the chopsticks and the
soup spoon at the same time.
- When eating or drinking soup, try not to make noise.
- Do not eat and talk at the same time.
