- 1n/viˌetnəˈmiːz/the Vietnamese language越南語
The language that most people in Vietnam speak.
文法不可數名詞：通常不加 a/an，也不加 -s 來表示複數。
當語言名稱時，這個字是不可數的。所以前面不加 a，後面也不加 s。說 study Vietnamese、speak Vietnamese。要說「用越南文」就用 in Vietnamese。第一個字母一樣要大寫。它屬於南亞語系，跟中文不是同一個家族。最需要注意的是前面的小字。speak Vietnamese 是語言，the Vietnamese 是人。差別就在那個 the。
示範例句 · Example
Hana has been studying Vietnamese for two years and can already order food.
中文翻譯花奈已經學越南語兩年了，而且已經可以點餐。
As a language name this word is uncountable, so it takes no a and no plural: you study Vietnamese, you speak Vietnamese, you say something in Vietnamese. It keeps its capital letter. It is uncountable, and it is an Austroasiatic language, which is a different family from Chinese. Watch the little words around it, because they are what separate the language from the people: speak Vietnamese is the language, the Vietnamese is the people.
