Introducing Yourself[edit | edit source]

When introducing yourself in Vietnamese, there are a few key phrases you should know. Let's go through each phrase step by step and learn the pronunciation and meaning.

My name is... - Tên tôi là...[edit | edit source]

  • Pronunciation: ten toy lah
  • English Translation: My name is...

To introduce yourself, simply say "Tên tôi là..." followed by your name. For example, if your name is John, you would say "Tên tôi là John."

What is your name? - Bạn tên là gì?[edit | edit source]

  • Pronunciation: bahn ten lah yi?
  • English Translation: What is your name?

To ask someone's name, say "Bạn tên là gì?" followed by a rising tone at the end. For example, if you want to ask someone named Lisa, you would say "Bạn tên là gì, Lisa?"

Nice to meet you - Rất vui được gặp bạn[edit | edit source]

  • Pronunciation: raht vwee duc gap bahn
  • English Translation: Nice to meet you

After introducing yourself or learning someone's name, it is polite to say "Rất vui được gặp bạn." This phrase expresses pleasure in meeting the person.

Now that we have learned the key phrases, let's practice some dialogues to help reinforce what we have learned.
