I don't know, maybe its just me, but I find it sort of funny just hearing her say it. I mean I speak fluently in vietnamese but it's just funny. Lol, but hey, I learn how to say tiger with a different word, I normally just say con cop.
@dee1195 In Vietnamese...the word "con" itself means small, young, animal, and children. we use the word "con" with all animals, including human (con người), boy (con trai), and girl (con gái) all that the word "con" comes first...when the word "con" goes after it means young usually for animal. For example, "con mèo" means cat and "mèo con" means kitty.
@dee1195 try to translate this...con gái tôi có một con mèo con. Con mèo con này là con của con mèo của bạn tôi. :P
...in a family, a person also expresses him/herself "con" to parents, grandparents, elders... like "I" or "Me" in English. Exception....a road/street (con đường), a river (con sông), and a knife (con dao) since they arent animal...lol
