But colloquially we tend to just say 'topic'. It might receive the classifier cái, or not.
So "chủ đề tiếng Việt" would be "Vietnamese [language] thread" không?

Which means, "I, the child, greet the whole house." Always peg your greetings to the oldest member in the crowd.
And try to get the tones right, otherwise your efforts might all come to naught.

Con gái (like con trai) does not simply mean 'kid', or belong to that class. They're something else.
Con is also the/a classifier for eyes, roads and streets, rivers, streams, boats and ships, ocean or river waves, knives, stamps, chess pieces... and quite a multitude of other things that are not animals. In the North some people also use it for mobile phones and vehicles, but that's slang usage.

The second link in my previous post says that, according to Landes (1893), Xuân Hương wrote this poem after visiting a temple in "Văn Giáp" village and seeing a huge banyan tree there, which would be the cổ thụ in the poem. This village should be in the former Hà Tây <河西> province (merged into Hanoi in 2008). This area has its own mountains despite lying just west of the very flat Hanoi - it's the province of Chùa Hương after all.Hakseng wrote:Is the "non tiên" the same as núi Phật Tích in Bắc Ninh Province? That would be nice, because it would allow one to localize the poem .
