Slightly Younger than parents (Male) - chi
Slightly Older than you (Female) - chị
Slightly older than you (male) - anh
Your age (Female or Male) - bạn
Younger than you (Female or Male) - em

====== Addressing Yourself ======
To someone:
Grandparents age - cháu
Parents Age - con
Slightly Younger than parents - con
Slightly Older than you - em
Your age - tôi

@quantumdude I have been to Vietnam 7 times, I love the food, I love the nonstop music, i love the country and i love the people, Vietnamese people are so polite, lovely, friendly and fun to be with, they make me happy. The only exotic diseases there, are when foreigners like YOU enter the country and bring them. SO SCUM stay out of Vietnam.

@JefferyKM because you are male and like beautiful girls from your own country.
