Aiyoh, I'm still learning alot from Professor Jackbl and others leh.

All I can suggest for other bros is to learn the common phrases, words and sentence structure for questions. Anyway, it seems like the girls use simple vietnamese so as not to confuse me.

So for "hom nay 15-8, em muon di bien choi. Nhung khong dam "call you" hoi anh co ranh khong"

I knew the common phrases.
hom nay - today
em - I (the girl)
muon - like
di - go
nhung - but
khong - not/no/don't
hoi - ask
anh - you (as in the receipient)

Also I knew Vietnamese structure for questions that you can reply with only yes or no, the question structure is "co xxxx khong".
Maybe Master Jackbl can elaborate a bit more here as I am not familar with more complex structures

Anyway after putting what i knew together, I searched the internet for "bien choi", "dam" and "ranh" and put it together.

Either way, I still posted it here for the Masters to verify.
