4 This illustrated dictionary contains more than 1,500 frequently-used Vietnamese words and expressions which students need to know when learning to speak contemporary Vietnamese. This is equivalent to the number of vocabulary introduced in a beginning-level course in Vietnamese at universities and colleges in Vietnam as well as overseas. This dictionary is organized into 38 themes, each of which presents 25–35 words and expressions, with 5–8 sentences demonstrating the usage of these words. The Vietnamese language and its dialects ϐ ͻͲ and about four million Vietnamese overseas. Vietnamese is a member of the Mon-Khmer subfamily in the Austroasiatic family of languages. Vietnamese has several major dialects, which are the Northern, the North-Central, the South-Central and the Southern dialects. These dialects of Vietnamese are mutually intelligible. Speakers of a particular dialect have no trouble understanding the speakers of other dialects. The dialect of Hanoi, the capital city of the ǡǡ ϐ government. ϐ Ǥ little difference in grammatical construction. This dictionary introduces the Hanoi dialect. In some cases, however, it provides both the Hanoi and the Saigon vocabulary, since the Saigon dialect is spoken in the largest and economically most important city of the country, and many words and phrases of this dialect are broadly used in the other dialects as well. In such cases, the words of the two dialects are separated by a semi-colon (;)—with the Hanoi word given before and the Saigon word after the semi-colon (;). For example, “spoon” in Vietnamese is presented as thìa; PXӛQJ. The Hanoi word is thìa and PXӛQJ is the Saigon word. The Vietnamese writing system The Romanized writing system for Vietnamese was created by Portuguese Catholic missionaries with the ͳ ϐ Vietnam since the beginning of the 20th century. In addition to the letters found in English, it contains ϐ ǣ Syllables and tones ǣǤ components, an initial consonant, labialization (rounding of the lips when pronouncing a syllable) and a ϐ ǦǡǤ Vietnamese is a tonal language. Each syllable, which in most cases is the same as a word, carries a particular tone. A change in the tone creates a change in the meaning (see below). A Basic Introduction to Vietnamese 1 The mark ³Ù³ is placed over a vowel to indicate a short vowel; that is, ă is shorter than a. 2 The mark ³ޔ́placed over a vowel refers to a vowel which is less open compared to the same vowel without this mark; that is, ô is less open than o. 3 The mark³ސ ́added to a vowel refers to a vowel which is unrounded compared to the vowel without this mark; that is, ѭ is unrounded, u is rounded. 9RZHOPDUNLQJV ă short vowel [a]1 â less open short vowel [ԥ]2 ê less open vowel [e]2 7RQHPDUNLQJV([DPSOHV ` a low-falling tone mà ´ a high-rising tone má ސ a low-falling-rising tone Pҧ ˜ a high-rising broken tone mã ƅ a low-falling broken tone Pҥ ô less open vowel [o]2 ѫ unrounded vowel [ԥ] 3 ѭ unrounded vowel [݁]3 ÿ the consonant [d]
5 4 This trill initial consonant does not exist in the Hanoi dialect. 5 ϐ Ǥ 6 ϐ Ǥ 7 ϐ Ǥ ǤǦ Ǥϐ ϐ ȋȌǤ 1. The mid-level tone is produced at a pitch that is the midpoint of the normal speaking voice range of a person. It is essential to maintain the pitch of the mid-level tone throughout the word and throughout a sentence which may contain several words carrying the mid-level tone. 2. The low-falling tone begins a little bit lower than the mid-level tone and moderately goes downward 3. The high-rising tone begins at a little bit higher pitch than the mid-level tone, then in the middle of the syllable the voice sharply goes upward. 4. The low-falling-rising tone begins at the pitch which is the beginning point of the low-falling tone, and drops abruptly, then the voice goes upward at the end of the syllable. 5. The high-rising broken tone begins at a bit higher pitch than the high-rising tone and then abruptly goes upward and at the end of the syllable is accompanied by a glottal stop. 6. The low-falling broken tone begins at a bit lower pitch than the low-falling tone and then abruptly goes downward and at the end of the syllable is accompanied by a glottal stop. These tones may be represented graphically as shown in the following chart. ǣ 1. PD “ghost” (mid-level tone) 2. Pj ( ࣪” ( but” (low-falling tone) 3. Pi ( ࣩ” (mother” (high-rising tone) 4. P̯ ( ࣽ” (grave” w(low-falling-rising tone) 5. Pm ( ˜ ) “horse” (high-rising broken tone) 6. P̭ ( ࣫” (rice seedling” (low-falling broken tone) Vietnamese consonants Vietnamese has twenty-two initial consonants. Please listen to the audio recordings to hear examples of each one. Note that the Vietnamese character d denotes a [z] sound whereas the [d] sound is written as ÿ. Both V and [ are pronounced as the [s] sound in the Hanoi dialect. The Vietnamese character [ should not be confused with the English x that represents a [z] sound as in Xerox or xylophone. Many Vietnamese initial consonants are similar to their English counterparts. However the following consonants sound very different from the English ones or do not exist in English at all. The consonants t and th The consonant t is unaspirated which means it is pronounced without releasing a puff of air, unlike the English t (but similar to the Spanish t). There is a similar consonant th which is aspirated, which means it has Pm Pi PD P̯ P̭ Pj Examples Examples Examples b [b] SK [f] v [v] m [m] t [t] ÿ [d] th [th ] boy phone van in the North; yes in the South man dog dove Texas (aspirated) [ [s] GJL [z] Q [n] l [l] r4 [r] tr5 [tr ] V6 [s] r7 [r] save zipper no love run train shave run ch [j] QK [ny] c, k, qu [k] kh [kh] JJK [gh] QJQJK [ng] h [h] chase onion gas kiss golf sing, singy house
6 the t sound plus a puff of air. Please note that th is not pronounced the way it is in English (with the tongue blocking the teeth). It is pronounced as a t sound with a puff of air after it. Compare ta “we” versus tha “forgive.” The consonant ch English does not have a consonant similar to this Vietnamese consonant. It is halfway between the English ch and j sounds. For instance, cha “father,” and chú “uncle.” It should not be confused with the English ch as in chapter or chase. The consonant QK This consonant sounds like Q\, similar to the Spanish ñ as in mañara. For example, QKj “house” and QKӓ “small.” The consonant kh This Vietnamese consonant is a rasping sound produced by narrowing the passage to the throat at the back of the mouth. The air squeezes through the passage on its way out, similar to the German ch or Arabic kh. For instance, khá “good,” khi “when.” The consonants Jand JK These have the same pronunciation as kh, but more growly, with a vibration of the vocal chords in the throat. Compare JKL “write down” vs. khi “when.” The consonants QJand QJK These have the same pronunciation, like the ng in the English word hangar. In Vietnamese, this sound is often used at the beginning of a word. For example, QJӫ “sleep” and QJKӅ “occupation.” The consonants d and ÿ In Vietnamese the letter d is pronounced like English [z] whereas the English d sound is written as ÿ. For example, da “skin” and ÿD “banyan tree”. Labialization This term refers to the rounding of the lips to pronounce a syllable which does not contain a rounded nuclear vowel. For instance, khá “good” is not labialized, while khoá “lock” is labialized. The character o is added to denote the labialization of the syllable. Labialization is also sometimes represented by the character u as in the labialized huӋ “lily” vs. the unlabialized hӋ “system.” Vowels ǣ i, \[i] like bee, boy ê [e] like may e >ܭ@like set ѭ>݁@similar to could ѫ>ԥ@like hurt a [a] like father u [u] like soot ô [o] like boat o >ܧ@Oike caught ǣ â >ԥೆ] like hut ă8 >ă@like cat ǣ iê, ia [i௬e] like vietnam ѭѫѭD>݁௬ԥ@like WKѭѫQJ (love) ѭD (like) uô, ua [u௬o] like mower 8 ϐǦ ȋȌǤ

The word order of the main parts in a sentence is similar to English. That is, the subject (S) comes ϐȋȌǡ ȋȌǣΪΪǤǡ other differences between Vietnamese and English word order. For instance, in English an adjective comes before a noun to modify it, whereas it comes after the noun in Vietnamese. Compare beautiful ϔ vs. hoa ÿҽSǡDzϐǤdzǡ ϐǤ ǣthis person vs. QJѭӡi Qj\ literally, “person this.” 2. A Vietnamese verb does not change form to express person, number, time or tense. These meanings are conveyed by other words used together with the verb. It is very important to know how these auxiliary words are used, since some of them are placed in front of a verb whereas others follow it. ͵Ǥ ϐ ǡ alone can be used to ask a question. 4. A Vietnamese noun does not change form and there are no plural forms or gender forms. Separate ǤǦ Dz ϐdz Ǥ ϐ learn these. 5. Vietnamese normally use kinship terms instead of pronouns to address someone. It is a good idea to ask the Vietnamese person you are speaking to how to address her or him and how to refer to yourself. Being aware of this complicated issue, the person will be happy to explain it to you. This dictionary uses the general terms bҥQ for the singular you and các bҥQ for the plural you. Literally, bҥQDzǤdz ǣ For example, DQK means “elder brother”, FKӏ means “elder sister” Phonetic pronounciation guides To assist the reader, a separate phonetic pronounciation is given after each Vietnamese word or phrase to Ǥ ǣ Vowels (the original Vietnamese letter is given on the left and the phonetic representation given after) a (long a as in father or lager) and ă (short a as in hat) are both represented by a. The same sound is represented by ah if at the end of a syllable. â (short “uh” as in about) and ѫ (long “uh” as in early) are both represented by u. The same sound is represented by uh if at the end of a syllable. e (as in let) and êȋϐmay) are both represented by e. The same sounds are represented by eh if at the end of a syllable. i and \ (short i as in happy or long i as in seek) are represented by i when the vowel is short and ee when the vowel is long. o (short o as in pod) is represented by o.
8 ô (like the aw in law) is represented by aw. u (like oo in snooze or cool) is represented by oo. ѭ (like ou in could) is represented by ou. Aside from the simple vowels above, vowels are also placed together to produce double or triple combinations (diphthongs and triphthongs). The following common sounds in English are used to represent these ǣ D\ is used as in day or may. oh is used as in go. ow is used as in how or cow. Be mindful not to mispronounce it as Rݜ as in snow, which is represented by oh in our pronunciation system. R\ is used as in toy or soy. \ is pronounced as in y or by after a consonant and written as \. However, “eye” is used when it starts a syllable. This is to avoid confusion with the hard \ used as a consonant as in yes or y. We use hyphens to connect the component vowels in other combinations not mentioned above. Readers should attempt to glide the vowels together to produce a single syllable. Consonants b (similar to the b in book) is represented by b. c (like the k in scan) and k (like the k in skin) are both represented by k. Please note that it is not aspirated, unlike in the English word kin. d and JL (pronounced like z as in zoo) are both represented by z. ÿ (like d in dog) is represented by d. J and JK (like g in amigo in Spanish) is represented by J. h (like h in house) is represented by h. l (like l in light) is represented by l. m (like m in mouse or sum) is represented by m. Q (like n in not or ton) is represented by Q. S (like p in spin) is represented by S. Notice that it is not aspirated, unlike pin. r (is represented by zr to suggest that you pronounce z with your tongue curled. It is as if you are pronouncing z and r at the same time. V(is represented by VKr to suggest that you pronounce VK with your tongue curled. It is as if you are pronouncing VK and r at the same time. t (like t in sting) is represented by t. Please note that this is not aspirated, unlike in the English word ton or tin. v (like v in vase) is represented by v. [ (like s in sun) is represented by V. ch does not have a counterpart in English, but sounds most similar to ch and j. We chose to represent it by ch. tr does not have a counterpart in English, but sounds like ch and j with the tongue curled. Therefore, we chose to represent it by jr .
9 kh (like ch in German buch) is the sound you make at the end of ugh, when a puff of air is released and vibration is felt near the back of the mouth. You can also imagine pronouncing k, but allowing more air ϐǤ kh. QJ or QJK (like ng in king or singer) is represented by QJ. QK (like ny in piñata) is represented by Q\before a vowel, and asQKat the end of a word. SK (like f in fish) is represented by f. qu (like kw in square) is represented by NZ. Please note this sound is not aspirated. th (like t in tin) is represented by t. w (like w in watch) is used instead of oo in certain words, if it is followed by other vowels. For example WKXӕFĺtwáwk (WZ is pronounced as in twitter) PXӕQĺ m-wún (PZ is pronounced as in mwah) \ (like y in yes) is used instead of i or ee in certain words, if it is followed by other vowels. It is also used to remind readers of the \ sound in QK. The use of hyphens Besides linking vowels, hyphens are also used to assist in reading and to avoid confusions in the phonetic pronunciations. For example, w and \ are separated from preceding consonants with hyphens for clarity, and also to avoid \ being mistaken as a vowel. How to use this picture dictionary This dictionary is accompanied by a set of audio recordings made by native speakers from Hanoi. You can look up any topic which is of interest to you, listen to each word and repeat it after the speaker. Afterwards, you move to the phrases and sentences doing the same. When you are sure that you know the meanings of the words, phrases and sentences, you may want to listen to them again without looking at the book and try writing them down. Then check the book to see if you wrote them correctly. Ǧ ϐǡ which you may have forgotten.
