    Smile Social Behavior in Vietnam

    The Vietnamese are very modest and courteous people. These are reflected in the Vietnamese customs and traditions. They have an extremely simple lifestyle and that reflects in their social communication and in their manners of interaction with each other.
    - Talking loudly or using too much of body movement, especially when interacting with women is considered impolite.
    - They do not beckon anyone with their hand or fingers pointed vertically. If they have to use their hand then they use their entire hand with fingers placed downward.
    - Traditionally they generally do not observe birthdays, but influence from the west has changed this custom a bit. Marriages and funerals are their chief rituals that too performed in a very formal manner.
    - Since they are very humble they hate boasting and if they are commended for anything then they simply smile modestly.
    - They take promises very seriously.
    - On a social outing with friends, the bill is paid by the host.
    - They do not drink in public as it is considered a social shame, but drinking is quite common among the men. Equally prevalent is smoking, even women smoke at times but it is considered to be vulgar if they smoke in public.
    - They are very sentimental about their ancestors and an insult to them is a serious disrespect.

    In Vietnamese society, the predominant sentiment in the relation between members of a social group is respect. This is particularly evident in the attitude towards older people. Respect and consideration for old age no doubt derive from the obligation of filial piety that requires young people to respect and love their parents and parent-like members of the family. Vietnamese also recognize that a long life is a sign of kindness and regard on the part of the deity for virtuous people, and that the elders are the carriers of tradition and the embodiment of knowledge and wisdom.

    social relationships in Vietnam is so different from other countries and rather complicated. In using Vietnamese, we cannot overlook this essential feature of Vietnamese culture which is the expression of respect in language.

    In Vietnamese, special respect is conveyed by using function-words for respect when addressing persons such as parents, old people, teachers, monks and priests, and superiors. The verbal response begins with a function-word such as "dạ", "thưa", "dạ thưa", "kÃ*nh thưa". Therefore, the word "dạ", often translated as “yes”, is actually a function-word showing respect and does not necessarily indicate agreement.

    Personal pronouns are a word class in Vietnamese which best reflects this preoccupation with expressing respect or disrespect for other people in language.
