Part 1. Do you do something? or Is something [adjective]?
Question: subject (+ có) + verb / adjective + không?
Answer: Có – Yes or Không – No
The word Không at the end of the question can be translated into “… or not?”
| Bạn | có | hiểu | không? |
| You | understand | or not? | |
| Có. | Tôi | hiểu | |
| Yes. | I | understand | |
| Không. | Tôi | không | hiểu |
| No | I | don’t | understand |
Do you understand? Có (yes) – Không (no)
Note:
(1) Do not use vâng or dạ (Yes) to answer a Yes/No question.
You say Vâng or dạ (Yes) when you respectfully agree with someone(who is older or has more seniority).
(2) adjectives are used without the verb – to be –
| Phở | có | ngon | không? |
| Noodle | tasty | or not? | |
| Có (yes) | |||
| Không (no) |
Is Phở tasty? Có (yes) – Không (no)

Hi :), could you let me know how you say “do you love me” in Vietnamese? Thanks.
after studying this lesson, I think you can translate it yourself
here’s a clue: the verb “to love” is “yêu” in Vietnamese
read this lesson again and maybe also # 13 – How to Address People and Yourself
frankly I don’t like translating any of the “I love you” messages
they’re too easy/juvenile for me
