Vietnam is honestly a great cunt. Great (and interesting) history, good culture, good religion...
The one bad thing is that you actually eat dogs alive. This is terrible.
Meme language
I only know about Vietnamese war sry
>>61067631
>dogs
>alive
When? Some of us eats dogs, but not alive.
>>61067634
We only use "là" (and in some cases "thì") for "to be". No grammatical conjugation. That is pretty simple.
>>61067594
Not fair, dude.
bruh...
How hard is it to learn vietnamese? I like spoken words seem to fit together like toy blocks, and you don't seem to have any inflection or much case structure
>>61067623
IT AIN'T ME! IT AIN'T MEEEE! I AIN'T NO FORTUNATE SON!
>>61067617
Do you guys hate Chinese?
WHY SO MANY ACCENT MARKS
>>61067763
There are only three main tenses (simple future, simple present and simple past) and two other tense (progressive present and progressive past). No grammatical conjugation. No aspect. No genders.
>>61067798
Because of Frenchies.

>>61067850

>>61067827
So, are you telling me that its easy?
>>61067871
It has a bunch of slangs, personal pronouns, and tones. But that's it.
>language
Nothing. Good languages have regular orthography (Spanish, Czech), shit ones have irregular (English) and I don't how closely the writting follows the pronounciation in Vietnamese.
>culture
Superior to ours, but that's not much of an accomplishment, to be honest.
I don't really like how Vietnamese sound, and the romanization of vietnamese language looks so complicated I always wonder if it's not messed up in the end.
For a 50 years long or so communist regime, it doesn't seem too corrupt and not too harsh on individual liberties, at least from here. We don't here much about Vietnam, though.
I read sometimes you put the inside of a spring roll inside a baguette and eat it that way.
Other than that, everybody who's been there told me they've had a blast, we got quite a few people from vietnamese descent in my area and the girls are super hot.
Good people. We accepted many Vietnamese refugees during their war and there were no chimpouts, rapes etc.
Hô Chi Minh where a great strategist, Tbh.
>>61067907
>Good languages have regular orthography (Spanish, Czech), shit ones have irregular (English)
I realize all criteras to decide which are the "good" and "bad" languages are highly subjectives, but this one is so simplistic it is almost dumb.
Good food, guys are bro tier and women are qts.
Your language is probably the worst sounding in the world no contest.

How does it feel to be nothing more than a buffer country between China?
your language is probably one of the most disgusting sounding in asia, other than mandarin, cantonese, and thai

Written Vietnamese looks very chaotic. I haven't heard it spoken much, so I don't really have an opinion on how it sounds.
Regarding Vietnamese culture, all I know is that pho and Vietnamese sandwiches are both great.

More than most languages, but people still have problem with LL/Y, B/V, Z/S.
Regarding Vietnamese: after checking it, their system is mainly phonemic, with some irregularities (as K/C borrowed from Euros). Still kinda ugly, though... you need to spam diacritics to use Latin alphabet for tonal languages.

>>61069023
So are you.
>>61068607
>It actually did a couple of times, but they never took hold, probably because they are unecessary.
Eeeeeeehhhh...
Let's say that, while not as bad as English "bash randomly on the keyboard to produce the 'ah' sound", French spelling could be better.
Two things that fuck with it can't be avoided, though - liaison forcing you to spam E where the consonant must be always pronounced, and the huge amount of vowels.
Since EU is going to shit after Brexit, Russians have way more tanks in the east than NATO does and considering many of your people enriched my nation and I guess we should return the favor... how is Vietnamese immigration policy and are there job oportunities for people with master's in biochem who don't know a single word in Vietnamese?
>>61067569
Cute second gen immigrant girls.
>>61068954
>imblying
>>61069072
It's not "random". Nothing is random when it comes to languages, it all comes from something. French spelling is a part of its history.
>>61067569
Up to this moment I didn't even know the vietnamese had internet.
What's it like to live in a communist state?
>>61069918
Actually I called English spelling random, not French... I don't recall French having bullshit like iSland, pEOple, maCHine, SCiSSor, CHaos and stuff like that.
>>61070005
Well, my point still stands nontheless. Like I said, it's all opinions and different perspectives, but I just think judging languages purely on their spelling is a bit over-simplistic.
>>61070093
Sure, I even mentioned in >>61068965 he was confusing the orthography with the language.
Still, I'm a big fan of the phonemic spellings... maybe Italian spoiled me too much.
>>61070001
60% of Vietnam's population uses Internet. They are just bad at English so you don't see them at the English language website.
>what's it like to live in a communist state
Like the capitalist states I guess. Working, eating, sleeping.
>>61067569
CAMBODIA IS SHIT VETNAM IS GREAT YES OR NOT?
>>61069145
immigrant policy is pretty okay, lots of expats living and working here. If you are master in biochem, I think your chances are pretty decent, and it's way better if you can work in field related to environment.

Being military its hard not to talk about the wars indirectly, but I like Vietnam. I dont entirely care for the government, but that is more of a generational thing than a military thing. I feel its too obsolescent and repressive for what the younger generations are going for.
-Foods good.
-Language sounds very fun and expressive.
-Most of the people ive met are very nice, including those who were of the Vietnamese criminal elements when I lived in Chicago.
-Biggest of all? I have not met any Vietnamese people who want to put up a big fight and be a fuck head about living with other people.

Where would it be easier to find a wife: China, Taiwan or Vietnam?
>>61073710
You can get very successful Chinese woman because Chinese man dont like to marry woman who are more successful than them. Thats why a lot of Chinese woman are looking for western man. If you want a poor low class woman Vietnam is probably your best choice.

>>61073835
Yea but in my experience the successful Chinese women arent the most pleasant people. They are stuck-up as shit and only want to spend all their money on fashion articles. And they have a similar mentality to the men: they will only go with men that are more "successful" than they are
I've met a few of these girls in China and they don't do anything else than work their asses off
But I see your point, I also tend to prefer one of those, because I'd have better chances to communicate well with them (since they tend to have some education).
*sigh* I'll end up having to learn Chinese and take a half year off or smth
Only thing I know from my experience is your food - I like it.
An interesting fact is that even if the people who come here arent highly educated, its not eqsy to fibd a person who would complain about Vietnamese immigrants.

Chinese have a shortage of both man and woman to marry because no woman wants low class man and no high class man wants a higher class woman as himself. that means there are people left who wont marry probably. Just because it doesn't happen often doesn't mean that there is a problem you can take advatage of.

You can disagree with facts all you want.
There are only a total of 8 million Chinese in America/Canada/Australia/NewZealand/UK. A lot are from the 1800's.

Now do the fucking math.

Transparency International ranked Vietnam corruption 116/168 in the world in 2015.
Anything with government jobs and positions requires background check of your family (at least 3 generation back). This includes military, police, bureaucrat to even university application. So pretty much all the past revolutionaries, communists, and northerners hold all the power. The common people and especially southerners have absolute no say and power in politic. If a govt scandal occurs, the media does not publish any information and everything gets covered up and drowns out by bullshit news like the latest pop culture scandal.
>>61078193
I was in a hurry so couldn't explain it correctly. What I mean is that because of the Chinese 1 child policy a lot of girls were killed (because of the Chinese preference for boys) this resulted in a way bigger Chinese male population than Chinese female population. In China status is very important. For males its hard to find a woman because there is a smaller female population this results in woman being very picky in choosing a man and will only marry a man more successful. So a lot of undereducated poor Chinese man won't get a wife because of the lack of woman. On the other hand in Chinese culture its considered humiliating if you marry a better educated richer woman or just a more successful one as yourself. This results in successful, educated woman who can't find a Chinese man and in the uneducated unsuccessful males who can't find a wife. This means that if you want a successful Chinese Woman as a western you'll have a lot of opportunities because there are a lot that aren't taken. I hope I explained better and you understand it better. Also just because my English is shitty doesn't mean I'm not from here.
>>61083454
Dummy, no one cares about that old fart anymore. You'll get laughed at if you talk about him with Vietnamese. Communist propaganda don't work in the age of social media.
Loads of Vietnamese people from student exchanges and visas back when we were commie. They are cool, don't really integrate but don't stir shit up and just do their own thing. I would try to learn the language online but I don't really find it pretty or appealing. Even though Chinese or Korean would be less useful I would prefer to learn them over Vietnamese.

Your explanation makes no fucking sense.
There's more males than females. Males in China are richer than females. Why the fuck would their be more free females than in say, Vietnam or Taiwan?
Also, you are arguing with Chinese emigration rates that in 2015 are the lowest on record, and them being one of the lowest interracial marriage rates in America.
>>61085238
wow shocking news
>>61085164
no one asked about turkey
>>61085374
I didn't say there are less free females in Vietnam or Taiwan. I said that there is a large SUCCESFUL and EDUCATED population of females in China that aren't yet taken. In Vietnam and Taiwan the successful woman are already taken and the poor unsuccessful are not. So if your interested in a high-class woman China would be a good place to look for. Do you even read bro? I'm not saying its happening already im saying that if your interested in such a thing China offers opportunity.
Is it still easy to get Yaba, real Ice, #3/4 and Shrooms? Or am I better going to Cambodia/Loas.

Is it still easy to get Yaba, real Ice, #3/4 and Shrooms? Or am I better going to Cambodia/Loas.

your language sounds cool but i can't pronounce anything for my life. vietnamese culture is overshadowed in the west by siamese culture, so i dont really have an opinion on it. sorry about operation ranch-hand, btw

No conjugation unlike English. People in Central Vietnam (Hue) speak with an accent that often omits most tones similar to when foreigners try to speak the language. It can be hard to understand sometimes but don't worry about it.
