English term or phrase: Good morning
General context to a multicultural audience
Thuy
Chao buoi sang!
Explanation:
This is a generic word-for-word translation of the equivalent terms in languages in which there is a custom of saying "good morning". Vietnamese generally do not say good morning. "Chao"-a word that means "greetings"-can be used with the appropriate pronouns to greet people at all times of the day. "Chao anh!" to an older male; "chao chi!" to an older female, and so on!

When addressing a group of people, the safest way is "Kinh chao quy vi!" regardless of the time of day. Note that all accent marks have been deleted.

Hope this helps
