Whenever we think about going to an Asian country, we usually think about the range of traditional houses we want to step in and experience for ourselves. That is why AirBnbs are popular among foreigners looking for authentic immersion in the Vietnamese culture. Now, if you are one of them, then we bet that you also are looking forward to entering the houses not only from Ho Chi Minh but also those from far-flung areas! If you are lucky, you can even sign up for a homestay that will allow you to live with a Vietnamese family and truly learn from them.

Ready to surprise the locals with your skills in their native language? Learn the basic words related to household items in the sections below!

Facts About Vietnamese Households

Before we get into the relevant language translations, let us briefly explore the house traditions of Vietnamese locals. Understanding such information will help you quickly adjust to the local culture without being overwhelmed.

1. While most Vietnamese people have started living their city lives in concrete buildings and towers, a majority of the population still work as farmers. Due to this, the country still has traditional houses built with sticks, bamboo, and mud.
2. Most houses have joint families, and around 5 to 7 bedrooms are built in one place. They usually have so much room, but their number should always be odd, or the house will be unlucky!
3. Locals consider building a concrete or bamboo-supported house a special thing. It reflects one's social status, and someone who dies without owning one is considered utterly poor.
4. Most people still build houses with separate kitchens and bathroom units similar to Japanese houses. If you settle in an old town, you will find your toilet detached and placed at the back instead of the space adjacent to your bedroom. Although you will get well-established western-style toilets, the entire foundation may be somewhat outside or at the back of your house.
5. Traditional decors can be seen in most houses outside the city. For example, you can see items such as bamboo products, bricks, puppets and masks, and silk-made figures. 

Essential Vietnamese House-Related Vocab

Now that you know Vietnamese surroundings, let us dive into some essential household items list. This section will teach basic words related to a house like a garden, home, etc. Later, in the next lesson, we will slowly take up all the distinct types of household items under different categories. So, let's get started.

1. Căn Nhàis (House)

Play

The first word we need to know is "House" itself. Căn nhàis is a necessity as this is the place where we can escape the realities of life. If you are traveling to the country, you can book a traditional Vietnamese through Airbnb so that you'll be able to experienince what it is like to be truly one with the locals. 

2. Nhà (Home)

Play

When we say Nhà, we are talking about something one has a personal connection with. Once settled in Vietnam, you will no longer introduce your place to someone as a house. Instead, it will become your Nhà, something that is more than just a concrete building. So, keep this word in mind to impress the locals with your skills.

3. Sân Vườn (Garden)

Play

When we talk about a beautiful house, the word Sân vườn immediately pops into our head. So, if you are interested in gardening, you can look for homes with available lawn space and gardens to fit your needs.

4. Căn Hộ, Chung Cư (Apartment)

Play

If you'd love to stay in an apartment or a flat instead of a wholly rented house, you can look for it by saying Căn hộ, chung cư. There are many available apartments in Vietnamese towns, and you can live in the best one if you research well and ask the locals to guide you.

5. Khu Vực Lân Cận (Neighborhood)

Play

When buying or renting a new house, you always want to live in a good neighborhood. Since Vietnam still has many villages and slum areas, you might want to be careful as a new settler. And to make such a wish come true, words like Khu vực lân cận will come in handy when speaking with agents and the locals. So, keep them in mind while making your house deal.
