How do you count in Vietnamese?

Start with 1–9: một, hai, ba, bốn, năm, sáu, bảy, tám, chín. Ngân’s first Numbers in Vietnamese video is that set. Her second video covers 10 to 99. Later episodes add hundreds, thousands, millions, and billions, plus the special readings mốt, lăm, and linh / lẻ.

How do you say "how much" in Vietnamese?

The everyday question is "Cái này bao nhiêu tiền?" (How much is this?). Tâm uses it in her market series, and Ngọc uses the same line in a clothing-store dialogue. You can swap in the item: "Cây thước này giá bao nhiêu tiền?" or "Cái áo này bao nhiêu tiền?"

What is the difference between nghìn and ngàn in Vietnamese?

Both mean thousand. Ngân’s money lesson uses nghìn when she explains everyday prices in đồng. In Tâm’s clothes-market video the seller says "Áo này 120 ngàn một cái." Same amount, two common words. You will hear both.

How do Vietnamese people say prices in đồng?

Vendors often skip the word đồng and shorten the number. Tâm’s market seller says "120 ngàn" for 120,000. Ngân’s money videos show nghìn for tens and hundreds of thousands, triệu and chục triệu for millions, and short forms like "một tỷ hai" and "hai tỷ rười" for house- and car-sized amounts.

Vietnamese Numbers and Money: How to Count, Ask Prices, and Understand Đồng

A stall will say 120 ngàn, not "one hundred twenty thousand đồng." Start with Ngân's Numbers in Vietnamese series, then Tâm's Market Conversations.

Count 1–9, then 10–99

Một, hai, ba, bốn, năm, sáu, bảy, tám, chín. Then 10 to 99 in Ngân's second lesson. Later videos add mốt, lăm, and linh / lẻ.

Money and "how much?"

Cái này bao nhiêu tiền? Ngân teaches nghìn; Tâm's seller says 120 ngàn. Ask to bớt một chút at a market. Millions are triệu and chục triệu; big money is một tỷ hai and hai tỷ rười.
