i have a customer that speaks VERY little english, but is fluent in vietnamese. i, of course, speak no vietnamese, but i am long on patience. the guy often brings me stuff not related to our business, but i'm always willing to help out, make phone calls, etc...

today he showed up with these, straight off the boat....

    chow ung = hello to a male
    chow baa = hello to a woman
    chow em = hello to a much youger person
    chow go = is somewhat inappropriate unless you know
    what you are doing it is like saying "hey
    there good looking/cutie" i only use it with
    much older grandmothers kind of like flirting
    with the old ladies.. makes them giggle a bit
    chow tam biet = good bye and can be shortened to chow,
    just like in Italian
    gahm on = thank you
