Okay, in the movie Platoon, there's a part where the American soldiers ransack this village and they're shouting stuff that I guess is in Vietnamese at these poor villagers... I am wondering what it is they're saying. If you've seen the movie then you'll know what I'm talking about.

One part is where there's some people hiding in this sort of hole thing underground and the soldiers are saying, "La dai" or like "La dai moi" (it sounds like "la die mao") at them to get them to come out. And then there's another part where Barnes is trying to get this one older guy to talk and he gets the guy's daughter and acts like he's going to shoot her and says something like, "I cacadou! I cacadou vee cee!" What the heck does that mean?? I spelled it that way because somebody else wrote it like that on a blog or something so it might be misspelled.

I tried to find the clip on Youtube but it's split into two different clips, and they might take awhile to load so I don't know if anybody wants to take the time but just in case, here they are:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oNM0Ma-SNY

WARNING... this is a really disturbing part of the movie so keep that in mind if you decide to watch it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Okay, thanks, but what are the soldiers saying to the villagers when they're yelling at them (I'm a writer and I need to know for a book!)

we found it inscribed on some sort of ancient vase (we think) & we're just wondering what language it's written in so we can figure out what it is. it was given to us a few decades ago by a family friend who purchased it from Vietnam.

I tried to sketch it out the best I could: http://i56.tinypic.com/23hswhe.jpg

I am a native English speaker, with working knowledge of Spanish. For various reasons, I have become interested in learning Korean and Vietnamese.

I am curious to gain perspective on different aspects of learning Vietnamese and Korean from people who speak and/or are learning either of these languages.

If you speak or are studying Vietnamese or Korean, feel free to share your experience/point of view on the difficulty or facility of pronunciation, grammar and/or writing system, as well as any other opinion.

I'm also wondering the advantage/functional value of either language at a professional level for work and their usefulness during travel in Asia for leisure.

Please focus your responses on these languages. Discussion of chinese is for another post, unless it serves in the consideration of the target languages.

Thanks in advance!

I really need this meaning only hints I can help with is, I belive it is from the vietnamese language. Also I'm told if the person speaks Vietnamese, they will also regonize it in this form -Duo^i Cho^`n. Any help or further investigation would be great, as I've only managed coming up on wild goose chases with this thing. Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

is it possible for a foriegner to be a tour guide in Vietnam? I am moving to Nha Trang in less than 6 weeks to be with my girlfriend. I have been an english teacher before, but I wouldn't mind trying something new. Now Nha Trang is a big tourist destination - would people use a foriegn tour guide vs. a local?

Now last year I had one local guide who was absolutely wonderful(she was in Chau Doc). She really set the tone for my vietnamese trip and I just absolutely loved (and fell in love) Vn. But sometimes the access to Vietnamese who speak good english isn't readily available, and thats why a foriegner might come in handy. Just wondering peoples opinions. Lets get some discussion going.

Thanks in Advance

Hi
I want to register in a vietnamian forum but there is a CAPACHA field (a question that will detect you as machine or human) in registration form. The question is in vietnamian language and I cant understand that.

Please help me and let me know the right answer of this question:
1- một + tám = ? ( Tiếng Việt có dấu )

Thanks in advance

Hello, can anyone who speaks Vietnamese translate this question to English: "hai hai cộng năm bằng bao nhiêu (trả lời bằng số)"

And can you also please give the answer (in english is ok)

Thanks in advance

My father is Vietnamese he would like to learn english, i think Rosetta Stone is a program that teaches a certain person about a language correct? Can this program be in Vietnamese and teach my father English? Thanks in advance.

I would like to translate the Vietnamese proverb from English to Vietnamese.
"Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet".
I would really like a Vietnamese speaking person to do this so it is done correctly- not just with an online translator.
I am making a baby book for my brother and sister-in-law and she is Vietnamese and I think this would make it more special and personal for her. Also if you know any other sayings or phrases that are appropriate for a new baby in Vietnamese please send them my way (with the English translations please!)

thanks in advance for your help

I just need a quick translation.

Thanks in advance.

I'm making a card for my grandfather for his birthday.
I can speak Vietnamese, but I can't write it.
How would you write "we wish you many more birthdays to come" in Vietnamese?
or anything close to that.
Thanks in advance(:

I want to give a gift to friends for their new daughter's from Vietnam but I don't know how to write/draw in Vietnamese. the two names are

Ava

&

Norian

Thanks in advance.

Anyone know this information? And if you do have for Vietnam, Singapore and Thailand, please post it here. Thanks in advance!
May be I didn't explain it very well. I'm searching for percentage of Vietnamese who speak English in Vietnam:)

I am looking for a software program for learning Vietnamese. Does anyone know of one out there that actually teaches the correct dialect (south vs north vietnam)? Thanks in advance.

I really want to learn Vietnamese! I'm dying to find a place on web that teaches Vietnamese from basics; alphabet, numbers...etc to advanced teaching. I seriously want a website that teaches Vietnamese as a real teacher. Please give me helpful websites that provides the fullist learning techniques and doesn't give "all over the place" steps of learning. I would also like it to be downloaded as well.If not it would still be of a great help.
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate it.

Are there any good resources online to learn Vietnamese? What about books? I am interested in learning both spoken and written Vietnamese.

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,

I'm writing an essay on the Watergate scandal and I have to talk about the Vietnam War since it leads to the Pentagon Papers and the eventually cover up of the burglary to steal those papers.

I came across a section in a book that reads Cambodia was a neutral territory but before it states that the North Vietnamese had "safe" havens inside the country.

Could somebody please help me understand this? Thanks in advance.

How do you translate "thank you for everything you've done for the family" in Vietnamese?

Thanks in advance!

I know this is an odd question, but I'm planning a trip to Vietnam and Thailand and looking to stop in Cambodia while I'm there but I would like to learn the language before I do. So I wanted to know is there a universal dialect used, like if I learn Vietnamese I'll be ok in all three places or do I need to learn a different language in all three countries, thanks in advance!
