Questions & Answers about Bạn đã trả lời email của tôi chưa?

Why are both đã and chưa used in the same sentence?

This is a very common Vietnamese pattern for asking whether something has happened yet.

• đã marks that the speaker is talking about a completed action or a past/completed event.
• chưa at the end turns it into a “yet?” / “have you...?” type of question.

So:

• Bạn đã trả lời email của tôi chưa? = Have you replied to my email yet?

This pattern is extremely common:

• Bạn ăn cơm chưa? = Have you eaten yet?
• Anh đến chưa? = Have you arrived yet?

In casual speech, sometimes đã may be omitted if the meaning is still clear, but đã ... chưa? is a very standard and natural structure.

What does bạn mean here, and is it always the right word for you?
