This may have been stated already, but the phrase "khoe khong" literally means "healthy, not?" to which "khoe" is an affirmitive. Also. there is an excessive use of personal pronouns in these Vietnamese lessons...they rarely use them.
@wittaker1898 ^_^, if you have any questions, please feel free to let me know ^_^. You can email me or leave a comment on any lesson you want ^_^. Good luck to you ^_^.
I have a question: I thought "và" meant "and"; sp how come when we say "And You?" in Vietnamese it changes to "còn ban?"?. Sorry to have asked, but I really want to know its actual meaning; so that I can learn the language with no problem.
@MrManuelpr21 Actually, "and" means both of them ^_^. However, "và" only means "and".
1/ We use mostly "and" as "và" when we make a list of something.
Ex: grape and apple = nho VÀ táo 2/ At here, we use "còn" when there are 2 choices and you already had one choice, "còn" will be used for another remaining choice.
Ex: 2 people are greeting each other.
A: How are you?
B: I'm fine. Thanks. And you?
There are only 2 people, so the remaining person will be used as "còn".
However, if you want to translate "and" as "và" instead of "còn", it is still fine and all Vietnamese still can understand what you are saying ^_^. So, don't worry too much about it ^_^.
I hope it will help you a little bit ^_^. If there is still something that bother you, just let me know ^_^.

@MrManuelpr21 one more example about it:
I shall go and you stay here.
---> Tôi sẽ đi CÒN bạn ở lại đây.

@MrManuelpr21 còn means 'also'. và is often paired with 3rd person reference like asking "who is that fine girl và that other fine girl she with?"
