Questions & Answers about Hoa này màu vàng.

Why does này come after hoa instead of before it?

In Vietnamese, demonstratives like này (this) usually come after the noun.

So:

• hoa này = this flower
• literally: flower this

This is normal Vietnamese word order.
Compare it with English:

• English: this flower
• Vietnamese: hoa này

You will see the same pattern in many other phrases:

• nhà này = this house
• xe này = this vehicle / this car
• người này = this person

Why is there no word for is in the sentence?

Vietnamese often does not use a verb meaning to be when describing something with an adjective or a quality.

So:

• Hoa này màu vàng. = This flower is yellow.

There is no separate word for is here, but the sentence is still complete and natural in Vietnamese.

This is very common:

• Trời nóng. = The weather is hot.
• Cô ấy đẹp. = She is beautiful.
• Hoa này vàng. = This flower is yellow.

English needs is, but Vietnamese often leaves it out.
