The Real Problem
AI Vietnamese is technically correct but sounds off. Too formal. Too textbook. Natives write more casually, with appropriate pronouns and particles. Match that.
Formality Default
Default register is too high. Casual Vietnamese is warm. Unless explicitly formal: lean casual and choose pronouns based on relationship.
Pronouns Are Critical
Vietnamese pronouns define the relationship:
- Tôi: formal/neutral I
- Mình/Tớ: casual I (friendly)
- Anh/Chị/Em: based on relative age
- Bạn: peer, friend
- Wrong pronouns = wrong relationship = unnatural
Age-Based Address
Vietnamese respects age hierarchy:
- Anh (older male), Chị (older female)
- Em (younger person)
- Cô/Chú/Bác: older adults, relatives
- Online peers often use bạn or mình
Particles & Softeners
These make Vietnamese natural:
- À/Ạ: politeness, acknowledgment
- Nhé: softening requests
- Nha: casual "okay?"
- Nhỉ: seeking agreement
- Đi: urging action
Fillers & Flow
Real Vietnamese has fillers:
- À, ừ, ờ
- Thì, là, mà
- Kiểu, đại loại
- Nói chung, thật ra
