Q

Sometimes the same, but sometimes not. You must watch to see. But you can watch but not see. Sometimes, watch = see. But if you watch movies, you can “watch” or “see”. If the bird is in a tree, you may “watch” but you not “see.”

A

Đôi khi giống nhau, nhưng đôi khi không. Bạn phải watch để see. Nhưng bạn có thể watch mà không see. Đôi khi, watch = see . Nhưng nếu bạn xem phim, bạn có thể “watch” hay “see” được. Nếu con chim trên cây , có thể bạn “watch” nhưng bạn không “see”

Q

(Tai language of Thai ethnic minority in Vietnam. Not Vietnamese)

The way to call young Thai girl

A

Inh lả; hese two words are not Vietnamese. They’re words from Tai language of Thai ethnic minority in Vietnam. Almost all Vietnamese people know this song but do not know the meaning of it. Many people think that there are two people in this song, a girl (inh lả) and a boy (sao noọng), but in fact, this song is what a girl who is about to get married says to a young girl (there are two ways to call young girl: inh lả and sao noọng) (Ref: http://nguyentienhai.blogspot.com/2016/11/inh-la-oi-sao-noong-oi-nghia-la-gi.html)
