The first words to say to Vietnaamese people!!! Vietnamese little by everyday!!!

What are the most first words when Vietnamese people usually speak to the first meeting people? They can be:

 

Xin chào! Hello

Anh/ chị sống ở đâu vậy? Where do you live?

Anh/ chị làm việc ở đâu? Where do you work?

Anh / chị làm việc ở đây à? Do you work here?

Anh / chị đi du lịch à? Are you on a travel?

 

You can feel surprised. But Bạn có khỏe không? How do you do? I think this is not the very first sentence for most Vietnamese to start a conversation with a strange person. See you next time!!! Best wishes to a new journey to Vietnam!!!

Dear,

 

There are some words which do not actually add meanings and these words just have the functions to make the sentences '' hear better '' or '' respectfully''. Here we can see the words '' à '' and '' vậy'', they are the same.

 

Thank you.

In the sentence, 'Anh sống ở đâu vậy?', what does 'vậy' mean?
