In Vietnamese, adjectives come after the noun (instead of before the noun in English). This is the typical structure for expressing liking of anything.

For example:
I like red colors. = Toi thich mau do. (literally says I like colors red).
I like Viet music = Toi thich nhac viet.

When you’re talking with a friend, you can address them as friend instead of using the “you” form that applies to them. Also, you can add “khong” to the end of a sentence to ask a question.

For example:
Do you want to go out? = Banh co muon di chuy khong? (literally says Friend do you like to do out, right?)
Would you like to go to a movie? = Banh co muon di cinee khong?
