Questions & Answers about Chị đã chuẩn bị xong quà và thiệp rồi chưa?
Chị is a personal pronoun used for a woman who is slightly older than the speaker, or someone the speaker addresses respectfully as an older sister-type figure.
In Vietnamese, pronouns depend a lot on age, relationship, and social context. So instead of using one general word like you, Vietnamese often uses kinship terms such as:
- chị = older sister / a slightly older woman
- em = younger person
- anh = older brother / slightly older man
- bạn = friend / neutral you, but often less natural in many everyday situations
So in this sentence, chị means you, but with a specific social nuance.
Đã often marks that an action is in the past or that something has happened before now. In this sentence, it helps show that the speaker is asking whether the preparation has already been done.
So đã chuẩn bị means something like:
- prepared already
- have prepared
In English, we might express this with the present perfect: Have you prepared...?
However, Vietnamese tense marking is not exactly the same as English tense. Đã is not always required, but here it helps make the completion idea clearer.
