Note:

  • Tenses are lexicalized in Vietnamese. Past tense and present tense are highly optional/contextual in natural speech and in written text
  • Pronouns are relative to social/familial status in Vietnamese. Tôi-Bạn (1sg-2sg) paradigm is used here
  • Noun classifiers are often optional too. Different noun categories take different classifiers.
