sit down the levy welcome back to learn
Vietnamese with any in the previous
lesson we learned about verbs in
Vietnamese today we going to learn
another frame of basic adjectives
[Music]
similar to works Vietnamese adjectives
never change their form for example
though I dare go I'm Deb yeah they're in
these sentences the adjective that which
means to be beautiful retains its form
regardless of the tans or the subject
now an important point how our
Vietnamese adjectives different from
English ones in English we always need a
linking verb to connect the subject and
the adjective for example I am beautiful
you are beautiful in these sentences the
active we have the adjective beautiful
and the linking word to be connected
with the subject I owe you however in
Vietnamese we usually don't need a
linking verb to connect the subject and
the adjective for example we say tôi
there and there which are equivalent to
the two English sentences you see there
is no linking word between the subject
toy or M
the adjective there briefly in
Vietnamese adjectives function s words
they can work as an independent
predicate without a linking verb
therefore to translate a Vietnamese
adjective into English we would add the
work to be before it for example not to
be delicious
ha to be hard or difficult met to be
tired this significant difference can be
easily seen when reading students who
are English and Western students learn
Vietnamese Vietnamese students usually
forget to use a linking verb they may
say the meal delicious instead of the
meal is delicious Vietnamese difficult
instead of Vietnamese is difficult
I'll tie it instead of I am tired on the
other hand Western students usually add
laughs which is equivalent to to be in
English
they may say welcome LAN anh instead of
will up come nan ping beer laughs car
instead of theme via car toy laughs men
instead of toy men this grammar point
can be a little hard for you at first
because we tend to transfer balance from
our native language to the second one
but I think it's not so complicated it's
super actually so just pay attention
we'll quickly catch on as we just
mentioned because adjectives fashion s
words there is no difference between my
p- form and gives no patterns between
verbs and adjectives to make the
negative form of an adjective we add to
work home which means no or not before
it for example dads are non dads our
home mom thing the car thing will come
ha
so in male TOEIC home men tomato yes no
question we use the structure bah blah
blah blah home in which God means yes or
to have how means no or not
so the structure literally means is blah
blah blah for example Gaza come on come
is the Swingle delicious think the Tahoe
home is venomous difficult and Garnett
come are you tired
[Music]
in Vietnamese the adjectives usually
combined after the nouns they modify
this order is opposite to English so
please pay attention for example we say
Mui top not top mooing go guy they're
not there go guy will come on not non
welcome this feature may also confuse
you because sometimes you don't know
whether they are non phrases or
sentences in such cases you have to
depend more on the context okay now you
know the basics about using adjectives
in Vietnamese I hope it is helpful for
you thanks for watching and see you next
time
sit down and applied
