ExclusiveThe depth behind how Vietnamese people address each other | Vietnam Within Us
"In Vietnamese, there's no single word for ""I."" Who you are depends entirely on who's standing in front of you: a child before your parents, a grandchild before your grandparents, and someone's ""little one"" for the rest of your life.
Even death doesn't end it. Light an incense stick before the family altar, and you're still ""con,"" still ""cháu,"" to ancestors gone a hundred years. It's a quiet way of saying: none of us arrived here alone.
May today's story be a gentle reminder to notice the small words we use with the people we love. They carry generations.
