| POST |
| John: Listen again to Yến's post. |
| Nguyet : Hồi hộp quá! Quan khách đến đủ chưa nhỉ? |
| John: "I'm so nervous! Have all the guests come?" |
| Nguyet : (SLOW) Hồi hộp quá! Quan khách đến đủ chưa nhỉ? (Regular) Hồi hộp quá! Quan khách đến đủ chưa nhỉ? |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I'm so nervous." |
| Nguyet : Hồi hộp quá! |
| John: The last word of this expression is added after an adjective to make the sentence more conversational and smoother, and it doesn’t affect the intensity of the preceding adjective. However, if it’s added before an adjective, as seen in the example, it intensifies the degree of the adjective. In this case, it’s translated as "so." Listen again - "I'm so nervous!" is... |
| Nguyet : (SLOW) Hồi hộp quá! (REGULAR) Hồi hộp quá! |
| John: Then comes the phrase "Have all the guests come?" |
| Nguyet : Quan khách đến đủ chưa nhỉ? |
| John: In this sentence… |
| Nguyet : Quan khách |
| John: ...is a polite way to say "guests." |
| Nguyet : Nhỉ |
| John: ...is added to the end of a question to make a sentence softer and a little cute, maybe the speaker is asking herself or maybe she is asking someone else. It’s usually used by women. Listen again - "Have all the guests come?" is... |
| Nguyet : (SLOW) Quan khách đến đủ chưa nhỉ? (REGULAR) Quan khách đến đủ chưa nhỉ? |
| John: All together, it's "I'm so nervous! Have all the guests come?" |
| Nguyet : Hồi hộp quá! Quan khách đến đủ chưa nhỉ? |
