Chao Viet nam~!
How are you doing? (Just to let you know I'm American-Vietnamese, so I might be hovering between annoying/loud and calm/mature in my letters :D ) I always wanted to know how you felt when people (countries and foreigners)asked why Vietnamese isn't in characters like many Asian languages. (It makes me feel bad, but I know the history behind it...because then I get angry at France)
-Chao, Vina *hands spring rolls*
To Vina,
I'm doing quite fine, actually. A bit tired from working in the rice fields, but it is nothing I can't handle.
How I felt?.., Well, I suppose it wasn't entirely France's fault.., I was just under a lot of western influence, so I switched to non-characterized letters. Though, I do know some of the Vietnamese would like to bring back Chinese characters to keep the language more.., "pure".
So, I suppose I'm sort of.., neutral? I do apologize for those who want to change it back to the characters..,
Ah, thank-you for the spring rolls. I shall go eat them with nước mắm or nước tương đậu phộng .., I can never really decide between eating it with fish sauce or peanut sauce..,
From,
Khanh Nguyen, Vietnam.
I reaaaaaaaally hope I got my information right about the chracters.
Sorry if I didn't really answer your question! D:
