33 – Nouns – possession – what belong to whom – của
================================================== ==============

Use của to say something belong to somebody: của roughly means “of” or “belong to” or the “‘s” (Tom’s, Harry’s, Mary’s) in English
object + của + owner

bạn gái của anh ấy
friend girl of he
his girlfriend

con mèo của bà
(classifier) cat of she (old lady)
her cat

chiếc nhẫn của Frodo
(classifier) ring of Frodo
Frodo’s ring

cung điện Buckingham của Anh
palace Buckingham of England


To get “my, his, her, our, their” put của in front of the respective pronouns (see # 14 – Pronouns)

object của tôi my
của anh ấy, ông ấy, chú ấy, bác ấy his
của chị ấy, bà ấy, cô ấy, bác ấy her
của chúng tôi, chúng ta, chúng mình our
của chúng nó, họ their

If it’s a family member, family member + owner or family member + owner’s name is more commonly used.

ba má tôi
dad mom my
my mom & dad

gia đình Hoa
family Hoa’s
Hoa’s family

Note for more advanced learners:
This can be confusing when it comes to people.

For example, Lan’s older sister is chị của Lan or if the context is clear, chị Lan

In # 13 “How to Address People and Yourself,” chị Lan can also mean Lan the girl herself, since if Lan is older than you, you add chị in front of Lan’s name to show respect.

Don’t worry about this for now if you just started. Use của to avoid confusion.

34 – Nouns – classifiers
=================================
Classifiers are used with nouns to count things in Vietnamese. The structure is the quantity + classifier + noun. There are many classifiers in Vietnamese, but the 2 that you will use the most are cái + things and con + animal/living things. Example:

Một con vịt
1 classifier duck

hai cái điện thoại di động
2 classifier telephone mobile


Some other useful classifiers: quả + fruit, cuốn sách (book), quyển vở (notebook), tờ báo (magazine, newspaper).
