Lan đi tiếp.

In Vietnamese, words that add aspect or direction-like meaning often come after the main verb. So đi tiếp is the natural order for continue going.

A literal word-by-word breakdown is:

• Lan = Lan
• đi = go / walk
• tiếp = continue / further

Vietnamese often puts the main action first and then adds extra information after it.

Yes. Đi tiếp is a very natural and common combination. It is used when someone keeps going after a pause, interruption, obstacle, or previous stage.

For example, it can be used in situations like:

• after stopping to rest
• after finishing one part of a trip
• after someone tells another person not to stop

So learners should think of đi tiếp as a useful phrase meaning continue on.

No, not by itself. Vietnamese usually does not mark tense the way English does. Lan đi tiếp can refer to present, past, or future depending on context.

For example:

• with no context, it may feel like Lan continues on
• in a story, it could mean Lan continued on
• with a future time word, it could mean Lan will continue on

Time is often understood from surrounding words such as hôm qua for yesterday, bây giờ for now, or ngày mai for tomorrow.

Usually no. Đi tiếp normally means continue going, not go next in turn.

If you want the idea of next person goes, Vietnamese would usually express that differently, depending on context. So for this sentence, the most natural interpretation is that Lan keeps moving or continues onward.

Vietnamese does not need a verb like is to build this kind of sentence. It often expresses meaning more directly.

English says:

• Lan is continuing
• Lan keeps going

Vietnamese can simply say:

• Lan đi tiếp

This is one reason Vietnamese sentences can look shorter and more compact than English ones.

Yes, very often. If the context already makes it clear who is being talked about, Vietnamese can omit the subject. So in conversation, someone might just say Đi tiếp to mean Continue going or Keep going.

In Lan đi tiếp, the subject is included because the speaker wants to identify who is continuing.

It is often easiest for learners to think of tiếp here as an adverb-like element meaning further or continuing. In practical grammar terms, it modifies đi and adds the idea of continuation.

Vietnamese word classes can be more flexible than in English, so the most useful thing is to understand its function in the sentence:

• đi = the main action
• tiếp = continuation of that action

A careful pronunciation guide is roughly:

• Lan = like English lan in land but shorter, with a level tone
• đi = similar to dee but shorter, with a level tone
• tiếp = roughly tyep with a rising, clipped tone

A few important pronunciation notes:

• đ is not the same as plain d in Vietnamese spelling
• iê in tiếp forms a vowel combination
• the accent mark in tiếp shows the sắc tone, which rises

The exact sound depends somewhat on the dialect.

Yes. A close alternative is Lan tiếp tục đi, which also means Lan continues going. Compared with Lan đi tiếp, that version can sound a bit more explicit or formal because tiếp tục directly means continue.

Very roughly:

• Lan đi tiếp = Lan goes on / keeps going
• Lan tiếp tục đi = Lan continues to go

Both are natural, but đi tiếp is very compact and common in everyday speech.

Yes. Lan đi tiếp is a complete and natural Vietnamese sentence. It has:

• a subject: Lan
• a verb phrase: đi tiếp

Even though it is short, it is fully grammatical and can stand alone, especially when the surrounding situation already makes the meaning clear.
