Went to terrific party but was a great reminder of how much i like learning new languages. It is TÃĄÂēÂŋt in vietnam and i should at least learn to count and say Happy New Year.
Btw for geeks, wikipedia says The name TÃĄÂēÂŋt NguyÃÂĒn ÃÂÃÂĄn is Sino-Vietnamese for Feast of the First Morning, derived from the HÃÂĄn nôm characters ç¯âŦÃĨâĻÆÃĻâÂĻ or jie2 yuan3 dan4
Which means holiday of first day
chÃÂēc mÃĄÂģÂĢng nÃÆm mÃĄÂģâēi means Happy new year.
And finally here is how to count…
Mot – One
Hai – Two
Ba – Three
Bon – Four
Nam – Five
Sau – Six
Bay – Seven
Tam – Eight
Chin – Nine
Muoi – Ten
Muoi mot – Eleven
Muoi hai – Twelve

Muoi sau – Sixteen
Muoi bay – Seventeen
Muoi tam – Eighteen
