Tối nay bạn ghé qua nhà Lan nhé.

A natural breakdown is:

• Tối nay = tonight
• bạn = you in this sentence
• ghé qua = stop by / drop by / come over briefly
• nhà Lan = Lan’s house / Lan’s home
• nhé = a soft sentence-ending particle that makes the sentence sound friendly, gentle, and inviting

So the structure is basically:

• Tonight + you + stop by + Lan’s house + okay?/please/friendly softener

Vietnamese often sounds more natural than a word-for-word English translation, so nhé usually is not translated with just one fixed English word.

Vietnamese often puts a time expression near the beginning of the sentence. This is very common and natural.

So:

• Tối nay bạn ghé qua nhà Lan nhé = Tonight, stop by Lan’s house
• It sets the time frame first, before the action.

English can do this too:

• Tonight, come by Lan’s house
• You should stop by Lan’s house tonight

In Vietnamese, putting tối nay first is especially normal.

Here, bạn means you.

Vietnamese words often depend on context. Bạn can mean:

• friend
• you when speaking in a neutral, friendly way

In this sentence, because it comes before the verb ghé qua, it is functioning as the subject, so it means you.

So:

• bạn ghé qua = you stop by

If bạn meant friend here, the sentence structure and context would be different.

Ghé qua has a specific feeling. It usually means:

• to stop by
• to drop by
• to come over briefly or casually

It suggests a short, informal visit, not just movement from one place to another.

Compare:

• đến nhà Lan = go to / come to Lan’s house
  This is more neutral.
• đi nhà Lan = not the natural choice here
• ghé qua nhà Lan = drop by Lan’s house
  This sounds casual and friendly.

So ghé qua gives a more natural sense of a quick visit.

Both can mean something like stop by, and in many situations they are very close.

• ghé = stop by
• ghé qua = also stop by / drop by

The word qua adds a sense of going by / passing over / dropping over, so the combination often feels a little fuller or more colloquial.

In everyday speech, both are common:

• Ghé nhà Lan nhé
• Ghé qua nhà Lan nhé

Both are natural, but ghé qua often feels especially like drop by for a bit.

Vietnamese often expresses possession by simply putting two nouns together:

• nhà Lan = Lan’s house
• literally: house Lan

This is a very common pattern.

You can also say:

• nhà của Lan

but that is often less natural in simple everyday speech unless you want extra clarity or emphasis.

So:

• nhà Lan is the normal, natural way to say Lan’s house

Vietnamese does not always need a separate word matching English to.

In English, we say:

• go to Lan’s house
• stop by Lan’s house

In Vietnamese, the destination can come directly after the verb:

• ghé qua nhà Lan

So the idea of movement toward that place is already understood from the verb phrase.

This is very normal Vietnamese grammar.

Nhé is a very common sentence-ending particle. It does not have one perfect English translation, but here it adds a feeling like:

• okay?
• please
• all right?
• yeah?
• a friendly softening tone

It makes the sentence sound:

• less blunt
• more friendly
• more like a suggestion, invitation, or gentle request

Compare:

• Tối nay bạn ghé qua nhà Lan.
  This sounds plain and can feel a bit abrupt depending on context.
• Tối nay bạn ghé qua nhà Lan nhé.
  This sounds warmer and more natural in conversation.

It can be understood as a friendly request, suggestion, or invitation, depending on context and tone.

Because of nhé, it usually does not sound like a harsh command. It feels more like:

• Come by Lan’s house tonight, okay?
• Please stop by Lan’s house tonight
• Do drop by Lan’s house tonight

So the force is gentle. Vietnamese often relies on tone, particles, and context to show this kind of nuance.

Yes, Vietnamese often omits subjects when they are clear from context.

So you could hear:

• Tối nay ghé qua nhà Lan nhé.

This is also natural and means something like:

• Stop by Lan’s house tonight, okay

Including bạn does a few things:

• makes the addressee explicit
• can sound a bit more personal
• helps if the speaker wants to be clear about who should do the action

So both versions are possible, but the version with bạn is perfectly natural.

No, there is no separate tense marker here.

Vietnamese often does not mark tense the way English does. Instead, time is understood from context or from time expressions.

Here, tối nay already tells you the time:

• tonight

So you know the action is intended for the near future, even though there is no word exactly equivalent to English will.

This is very common in Vietnamese.

Yes. Lan is typically a female name, but when learning Vietnamese grammar, what matters most is that it is a personal name.

The sentence structure stays the same either way:

• nhà Lan = Lan’s house

Vietnamese personal names do not require an apostrophe or a possessive ending like English ’s.

Yes, depending on context, qua nhà Lan nhé can also be natural.

Here qua can mean something like:

• go over to
• come over to

So:

• Tối nay qua nhà Lan nhé = Tonight, come over to Lan’s house, okay?

Compared with ghé qua nhà Lan nhé:

• qua nhà Lan nhé focuses more on going over there
• ghé qua nhà Lan nhé more clearly suggests dropping by or stopping in briefly

Both are common, but the nuance is slightly different.

Yes, but the tone changes.

For example:

• nhé = friendly, soft, inviting
• đi = often encourages action; can sound like come on, do it
• nha = very similar to nhé in casual speech
• no particle = more direct, sometimes colder

Compare:

• Tối nay bạn ghé qua nhà Lan nhé.
  Friendly and gentle
• Tối nay bạn ghé qua nhà Lan đi.
  Encouraging, a little stronger
• Tối nay bạn ghé qua nhà Lan nha.
  Casual, warm, conversational

So nhé is a very good choice for a polite, friendly suggestion.

It is generally informal to neutral-friendly.

Reasons:

• bạn is a neutral, friendly way to say you
• ghé qua is natural everyday speech
• nhé adds a warm conversational tone

This is the kind of sentence you might say to:

• a friend
• a classmate
• a colleague you are on friendly terms with

It is not highly formal. In a more formal situation, Vietnamese would usually use different pronouns and possibly different wording.
