Thầy tôi từng nói với tôi như thế này (𝐌𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐞): “Nếu em cầu Chúa (𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐝), có nghĩa là (𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬) em có niềm tin vào năng lực của Chúa (𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫).
Nếu Chúa không giúp em (𝐈𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮), điều đó cho thấy (𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬) Chúa tin tưởng vào năng lực của em (𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲)”.
Suy cho cùng (𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝), thế giới mà mắt bạn nhìn thấy (𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞), và những người xung quanh bạn (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮) tất cả đều phản ánh bạn một cách chân thực nhất (𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟).
Nếu bạn cứ mãi than oán cuộc đời không công bằng với bạn (𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫), hãy tìm cách (𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐲) khiến thế giới này nghiêng về phía bạn (𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮).

When drinking alcohol or being at parties, Vietnamese people often say cheers which makes the air more joyful and vibrant. What are those sayings? Let’s find out 10 ways to say Cheers in Vietnamese.
1. Dzô!
In other countries, typically the UK or the US, they often use “Cheers!” to toast. In Vietnam, there is a prominent word and generally used in every party, it is “Dzô”. It sounds like “Yo” in English, which is very easy to use with foreigners
2. Một, hai, ba, dô! (1, 2, 3, Dzô!)
How do you say Cheers in Vietnamese? “Một, hai, ba, dô!” is a way to say cheers when drinking beer, it expresses happiness, pleasant and generally used at crowded parties.
Alternatively, for this saying, Vietnamese people also modify some other longer sentences, for example:
Một, hai, ba, dô!
Hai, ba, dô!
Hai, ba, uống!
In this way, it helps to make the party more exciting. You just lift up your glass and shout along with everyone.
3. Trăm phần trăm (A hundred percent) – Cheers in Vietnamese
“Trăm phần trăm” is a must – know Vietnamese slang. When someone cheers you up and they say “Trăm phần trăm nhé!” or “Một trăm phần trăm!”, it means you must drink all the alcohol you have in your glass. If you don’t want to drink a hundred percent, try to bargain with your partner by “’Năm mươi phần trăm”, “Hai mươi phần trăm”,…..
4. 50 50 (Fifty percent)
You can use “Năm mươi phần trăm” or “Năm mươi năm mươi” to bargain if you cannot drink all the alcohol in the glass.
Additionally, you can also negotiate a different amount less than “Một trăm phần trăm”. This is also a way of toasting in Vietnam, when people just want to put glasses together and do not drink it all.
5. Không say không về (Not leaving until drunk)
This is considered as a joke in a party, when everyone wants to have a long drinking session.
It means that you will be allowed to leave the party when you are drunk. But this is a joke and you don’t have to get drunk to go home, you just need to give your best to the fun of the party.
When participating in a Vietnamese drinking party, you should also learn how to toast in Vietnam because it will make a huge impression on everyone around you.
