Vietnamese learning embarrassing mistakes

Please don't discourage yourself from speaking Vietnamese because of this article. Tones are important, but contexts are more important in Vietnamese.

01. Calling your wife/husband/friends' mother a "ghost".

Má with low constricted tone (Mother) vs Ma with level tone (Ghost)

02. Calling your wife/husband/friends' uncle a "dog" or "breasts".

Chú with "ch" initial consonant (Uncle in father's side) vs dú with "y" initial consonant.

Cậu with low constricted tone (Uncle in mother's side) vs Cẩu with falling rising tone (A dog)

03. Calling your wife/husband/friends' father a "cow" or "grandmother"

"Bố" with the rising tone and the strange letter "ô", different from the letter "o" vs "Bò" with the falling tone and the letter "o"

"Ba" with the level tone vs "Bà" with the falling tone.
