Usage notes

[edit]

Invợ chồng(“wife and husband”),cô chú(“paternal aunt and her husband”),côcậu(“you girls and boys”),dì dượng(“maternal aunt and her husband; stepmother and stepfather”), the words for females always come first. In most other phrases, the words for males usually come first, except in certain poetic contexts (e.g.mẹ cha(“mum and dad”) as opposed to the usualcha mẹ(“dad and mum”)).
