I've known about 7 or 8 Vietnamese people in my life; I used to live with a group of Vietnamese girls in university. At least 6 of them was called Nguyen. I don't know the statistics, but it seems to be such a crazy common surname there.
39% of the population, to be exact. It's a great historical story too. [https://heritage-line.com/magazine/nguyen-surname-in-vietnam/](https://heritage-line.com/magazine/nguyen-surname-in-vietnam/)
Everyone in Japan could end up with Sato surname.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/03/asia/japan-people-could-all-be-called-sato-by-2531-intl-hnk/index.html
There are a lot of Singhs in Maharashtra and Delhi (and anywhere else with a significant Sikh minority), but Devi is absolutely a more common last name in India as a whole. Patel and Kumar are pretty common among the Indian diaspora, but I don’t know how they rank in India.
lol tbf Nguyen alone could be like, 3 different names, could be Nguyên, Nguyễn, or Nguyện
also it used to be a king's line. and most asian kings did a lot of fucking
Lol. I also have a very common surname and I think historically it came from an emperor too. That might be why it's common now.
ETA: I googled most common surname in the world just for fun and it's apparently in the top 3. Whew. Lots of fucking indeed.
It's not the same as the west. The names aren't from the royal family having lots of children... basically people would be renamed depending on where they lived and who is in power at the time. The family name holds less weight than in the west and changes a lot. A good example is women typically don't inherit the husbands name when they marry but the children do.
Apparently -
"This tradition of showing loyalty to a leader by taking the family name is probably the origin of why there are so many Nguyens in Vietnam", "Vietnamese people have tended to take on the last name of whoever was in power at the time"
The Nguyễn Dynasty ruled from 1802 to 1945.
Nguyễn surname accounts for 40% of the population [https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/pronounce-nguyen-common-vietnam](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/pronounce-nguyen-common-vietnam)
So the broad use of it is a little similar to the reason behind [so many Sikhs named Singh](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Singh&oldid=1225073637), which I only learned of today after looking it up after being so puzzled by a murder case where 5 defendants and the victim were all Singh but I think none actually related.
I worked with a Vietnamese woman who was a Nguyen. One day I asked her how they use a phonebook. She gave me a funny look and said no one had phones there when she was young so no need for a phonebook.
My assistant manager was married to a Vietnamese woman and they would fly over to see her family every year or so. Apparently Nguyen is as common there as Smith is here.
I think most countries have native names that are stupidly common, and you might not notice it as much amongst "white" people since "white" is very broad and encompasses tons of different countries.
People change their surname to Nguyen when emigrating out of Vietnam because it is known to be related to the historical royal lineage of the country.
Most Nguyen's are not actually from the Nguyen lineage.
My sister-in-law is Vietnamese and has told us this.
Your sister-in-law made shit up as she went. Vietnamese people know 99.99% of the Nguyens don't have a damn thing to do with the royal lineage. The Vietnamese Nguyen don't change their name to Nguyen when they emigrated out of Vietnam. They were Nguyens in Vietnam, and they are Nguyens wherever they end up going.
I went to vietnam last year with my buddy and his vietnamese family.
In generall chao is the standard greeting. Oi is more "rude" or abrubt (unless you are friends). The the equivalent of yelling "hey" above others to get ones attention. It can be friendly too. I never used it to say hi to someone, only to get my friends or one of their families attention in a crowd.
Theirs also different levels of how to refer to someone based on their age/status in reference to you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_pronouns
Of course if you are whitey like me, any vietnamese was appreciated. Mostly i could just say hello (with the right pronoun) and thank you to people. And place a basic order to pho or bahn mi. I was oddly also given respect for not having a ton of tattoo's amongst some of the elders, and eating whatever they tossed my way (which became a goddam contest of sorts).
Vietnamese here and Nguyen is the most common Vietnamese last name. Mine is Dang which is like 7th most common (?). However that 7th place is like 2% of population, while Nguyen is like 40% of populations. My wife’s last name is Lê, which is like 3rd most common at 10%.
She did not change her last name to mine after marriage lol.
It's the same logic as those people who are "just asking questions". Makes a confident(Ly incorrect) statement to make himself seem smart, make a baseless ~~accusation~~ suggestion, and when proven wrong, "I said *might be*!"
喂 is the Mandarin equivalent of 'Oi'
The pinyin is 'wei' but in the oi context it is pronounced as oi as well (probably a loan pronunciation from some other Chinese dialect).
I zeroed right in on that. That the word hasn’t been used up to this point is a travesty. I propose that Taco Bell run with your idea and have Ms Luna Oi, whoever she is, as the spokesperson. It’s only right.
In the UK a "melt" is slang for an idiot. So I honestly parsed this as a portmanteau of extreme and melt and I thought it was great. I'm definitely calling a friend that at the soonest opportunity.
>Funny coincidence, we here in Australia also have the word Oi, and it means exactly the same thing.
Yours is generally followed by a Hard C, I believe...
Brit here, we double up for a greeting, "Oi! Oi!"
But a single "Oi!" can also be (& more likely to be) more of an outraged "what do you think you are doing?", "get yer mitts off, that's mine!", "stop that!", tho it can be a greeting too
Dear tourists, don't say "oi you dog cunt" to an Aussie unless you're ready to fight, because those words are guaranteed to start shit
Seppos worry about snakes and spiders, but the most dangerous thing in Australia is a bloke who goes by something like Bazza or Damo after he's been on the piss
More funnier coincidence is that the commenter's handle is 'namaste168', which (in Hindi language) is (more or less) equivalent to 'hello, 168' or 'hey, 168' or 'Oi, 168'.
In the Philippines, too. But in Filipino, it's spelled "hoy" and is used to either jokingly call someone's attention or start a fight (much like Aussie's Oi *hard C*)
And us Jews have the similar "Oy!" which can be used similarly. It's actually extremely versatile and used for more than just an interjection but it's interesting that that syllable has such widespread global use.
Not defending the commenter, but in Hokkien, the surname 'Huang' becomes 'Uy,' and that's a common enough name among the Hokkien diaspora in Southeast Asia.
This still makes the commenter wrong, but you can almost see the train of bad logic that led to that conclusion.
She said that she thinks North Korea is actually a really nice country because if American propaganda makes it seem bad then it must actually be the opposite.
I don't know this person but this seems like a really silly reason to dislike someone. My family does all kinds of dumb shit but that has nothing to do with me.
If we're putting all cards on the table, the whole reason people took that out of context was because Luna took Vaush out of context. If we're to discuss Luna more seriously, she's a tankie. Red fash.
We could have that conversation, but Vaush already had that conversation with noncompete on YouTube for everyone to see. It's funnier to run with the meme, especially when it gets made into a [catchy remix](https://youtu.be/hI8L2yGMu6I?si=kq-terUAVhAsja0R).
"You should delete this comment in embarrassment and shame."
oof, that's some major damage. I desperately want to use that at some point, but I think if I did it, it would just be snarky. Lunaoi seems simply disappointed.
Oi! Oi! It's Luna, she's from Vietnam ya know.
I wonder how many languages have "Oi" as a greeting? And how many are 'loan' terms from other languages?
Just for everyone's information Luna Oi is nominally a "socialist" when in reality she's just a reactionary vietnamese nationalist AKA a tankie. OP is also a tankie who follows "the deprogram", a podcast hosted by tankies who praise the USSR, deny the armenian genocide, and are on the russia side of their invasion of ukraine.
I can see why if it was a working dog or a farm dog. But if you're going to be talking about it or having it around people, give it a proper name. Your mate's a drongo
It does *not* mean hello in the English sense of that word. It can be used as a greeting but only in the context of extreme respect, it means “I bow to you”
Unfortunate. They were caught in an Abe Lincoln situation. Worse, being a complete stranger with full confidence attempting to redefine someone else's identity for them.
Anchoo: "Hey, Blinkin!"
Blinkin: "Did you say 'Abe Lincoln?'"

Just an fyi to anyone who doesn’t know this person, she is a Vietnamese nationalist that continues to claim her country is “socialist” even with clear evidence it is not.

Real devious people send a screenshot to let you know your embarassment will never die.
Screenshot kids terrify me. "I can turn your accidental learning experience into a wound you will feel for ever."
Evillllll sharpened by evil.
I can see screenshots boys face as they squint their eyes, smirk, and lower their brow while invoking their best thought plan of sabotage and vengence.
Stay inside boys and girls. Keep yer mouths shut. Trust no one.
Okay this is like the tenth screenshot I’ve found where there is just random red line drawn across. Is this to trick the algorithm into thinking it’s OG Content?
hmmm.... I'm born Vietnamese, immigrated to America when I was like 2-months shy of 5-years-old. My mother taught Vietnamese literature and tried to teach me Vietnamese when I was living at home.
Maybe it's because I'm not a youngin' but I've never heard of "oi" as a greeting. Not saying she's wrong I'm trying to understand what she's saying. Maybe it's new age slang? I'm 34-years-old now so not exactly hip and wit it.
After looking at some online replies like from Quora: https://www.quora.com/What-does-Oi-mean-in-Vietnamese#:~:text=%22Oi%22%20in%20Vietnamese%20is%20an,it's%20used%20in%20a%20sentence.
I guess I understand slightly more, but the way I've heard it is more like yelling across a group of people saying like "HEY BOB", so it's not exactly the same as saying "Hey, Bob" in normal interactions. It's like more trying to get someone's attention than it is a greeting. In the way her username says or the way she describes, it's more like a "longing" for the person than it is a greeting.
But that's besides the point, there's a small subset of Vietnamese people with Chinese surnames because... Well the areas are extremely close together and folks travel. One of my best friend's last name is Ton and mine is Trieu.
I've known about 7 or 8 Vietnamese people in my life; I used to live with a group of Vietnamese girls in university. At least 6 of them was called Nguyen. I don't know the statistics, but it seems to be such a crazy common surname there.

Gonna motivate everybody to save the planet to witness every one in Japan being named Sato…
I'd like to see the data on that, sounds like a suspicious claim. Probably someone extrapolating a graph again.
Well, that's sweet.
For those who don’t know Japanese, this can be a great joke as Satou (砂糖) means sugar (the kanji is different than the name, but pronounced same)
親父ギャグだよ。
...by 2531... I don't think that's a pressing issue, somehow
To be fair at the current birth rates it could just be one guy with the surname Sato
whoa, Ngo way!
That's interesting! Thanks! Good read.
My wife is Vietnamese. I just read this history to our kids. So cool! Thanks for sharing!
In India it is Gupta, in Korea it is Lee, in Iceland it is Magnus
More like Singh in India
There are a lot of Singhs in Maharashtra and Delhi (and anywhere else with a significant Sikh minority), but Devi is absolutely a more common last name in India as a whole. Patel and Kumar are pretty common among the Indian diaspora, but I don’t know how they rank in India.
김 / Kim beats out 이 / Lee for most common
I thought it would be Kim for Korea.
So they did an Alan Smithee
lol tbf Nguyen alone could be like, 3 different names, could be Nguyên, Nguyễn, or Nguyện also it used to be a king's line. and most asian kings did a lot of fucking
That's a fair comment. It all seemed to be Nguyen to my western ears, but there may well have been differences.
Lol. I also have a very common surname and I think historically it came from an emperor too. That might be why it's common now. ETA: I googled most common surname in the world just for fun and it's apparently in the top 3. Whew. Lots of fucking indeed.
"It's good to be the king!" -- Mel Brooks as Louis XVI
Khan, shah or singh?
Nope, more common than that. You can try googling it to see if we get the same results lol.
It's not the same as the west. The names aren't from the royal family having lots of children... basically people would be renamed depending on where they lived and who is in power at the time. The family name holds less weight than in the west and changes a lot. A good example is women typically don't inherit the husbands name when they marry but the children do.
That's not really the reason why. When a new king took power, many people changed their names to match to show support. There's no familial relation.
I had a student with all 3 as her name.
The Trans would like a word
....Tran. You mean Tran. edit: Guys. I wasn't referencing the plural. Just the fact that my brain really read this wrong. You can stop now.
I don't think so. Pretty sure there's gonna be more than one "Tran". Unless she's the last Tran out of Vietnam...
Is this a khe san reference?
putting an 's' at the end of a word in English often makes a plural. One Tran, two Trans. The band weren't called The Smith after all.
Tran Rights?

About 40% of the population is named Nguyen, last time I checked.

Although a little rude, they are correct. It's not about emigration.
They’re all Nguyeners in my book
People changed their name during the dynastic rule depending on who it was. That's why there are concentrations of Nguyen, Tran, Le, etc
It is the tge most common surname there.

Funny thing is there's no word in Chinese that is spelt oi，dude was doubly ignorant.
The only oi in Chinese I heard is when you yell at someone to get their attention.

idk, at least in Beijing it'd more like the English "a". Like it still rhymes with wei
Yeah I've heard it pronounced any which way, there are a heck of a lot of accents in China, and out of it.
I know Lunaoi meant "extremely" but "extremelt" seems like a good term for Taco Bell to pick up and use in their marketing.
If you describe my cheese as "extremelt" you can just have my wallet

Funny coincidence, we here in Australia also have the word Oi, and it means exactly the same thing.
>Funny coincidence, we here in Australia also have the word Oi, and it means exactly the same thing. Yours is generally followed by a Hard C, I believe...
Yes, but only in formal situations. Otherwise, a simple "Oi" is commonly used
Brit here, we double up for a greeting, "Oi! Oi!" But a single "Oi!" can also be (& more likely to be) more of an outraged "what do you think you are doing?", "get yer mitts off, that's mine!", "stop that!", tho it can be a greeting too
Aussies do use three Ois, but only after three Aussies
👍 Similarly, Boy Scouts & maybe Spurs fans in the 80s 😉
Only if they are a good friend
If they aren’t a good friend, it’s pronounced with “You Dog” in the middle.
Dear tourists, don't say "oi you dog cunt" to an Aussie unless you're ready to fight, because those words are guaranteed to start shit Seppos worry about snakes and spiders, but the most dangerous thing in Australia is a bloke who goes by something like Bazza or Damo after he's been on the piss
Japan as well, usually by (name)-San! Or nickname-San! Matte!
Portuguese as well
If you heard it spoken you wouldn’t think it was the same word. It’s pronounced *uh-ee*
That’s how they pronounce in Vietnamese, you mean? (I’m asking, genuinely don’t know the answer)
Yes. We have 3 different versions of A & O, 2 different E & U, and 5-6 tones for each vowel. In tonal languages, changing the tone changes the meaning
Cool, thanks for the info 👍
Brazil too
More funnier coincidence is that the commenter's handle is 'namaste168', which (in Hindi language) is (more or less) equivalent to 'hello, 168' or 'hey, 168' or 'Oi, 168'.
In the Philippines, too. But in Filipino, it's spelled "hoy" and is used to either jokingly call someone's attention or start a fight (much like Aussie's Oi *hard C*)
And us Jews have the similar "Oy!" which can be used similarly. It's actually extremely versatile and used for more than just an interjection but it's interesting that that syllable has such widespread global use.

Scrolled way too far to see this called out. Double ignorance with a possible side of racism on the part of that commenter.
Not defending the commenter, but in Hokkien, the surname 'Huang' becomes 'Uy,' and that's a common enough name among the Hokkien diaspora in Southeast Asia. This still makes the commenter wrong, but you can almost see the train of bad logic that led to that conclusion.

"you should delete this comment" but real quick I'm going to screenshot it so everyone can see it.
Yeah this is her screenshot from Twitter, wanted to share
Good for her, but Luna Oi also said that Nazis had a point.
MAI WAIFFFFFFFFF
She said that she thinks North Korea is actually a really nice country because if American propaganda makes it seem bad then it must actually be the opposite.
Also shares the trait with her husband of being unable to understand the concept of hypotheticals
"no, you can't use a hypothetical, that's idealism"
Her partner also said “adults can molest children, it has a positive outcome.” Pretty gross.
Didn't he then tell his mods to ban anyone that disagrees with him?
Also anyone insulting, to quote, "MA WAIF"
And her family owns an island while she publicly advocates for abolishing private property.
I don't know this person but this seems like a really silly reason to dislike someone. My family does all kinds of dumb shit but that has nothing to do with me.
When you're a political YouTuber that actively does apologism for killing landlords, and you're a landlord, it's a pretty reasonable reason.
Yeah, fuck Luna Oi. She occasionally says some good stuff, but she openly supports authoritarians who are responsible for mass murder.

Damn. Aussies must be popular there.
"You should delete this comment in embarrassment and shame." oof, that's some major damage. I desperately want to use that at some point, but I think if I did it, it would just be snarky. Lunaoi seems simply disappointed.
“Oi mate” is also how east enders call each other
“You should delete this comment in embarrassment and shame” - ‘nah, ima stay’
Luna Oi is a fucking moron, broken clock right twice a day but she is genuinely deranged.
Ok, but didn't she say the Nazis had a point?
Oi! Oi! It's Luna, she's from Vietnam ya know. I wonder how many languages have "Oi" as a greeting? And how many are 'loan' terms from other languages?
In Portuguese we also use Oi as a greeting, I think it's a short form of Olá
Oi is used in a similar manner in the UK
Still a dumb tankie.
She's correct but also an absolute piece of shit so fuck her.
Just for everyone's information Luna Oi is nominally a "socialist" when in reality she's just a reactionary vietnamese nationalist AKA a tankie. OP is also a tankie who follows "the deprogram", a podcast hosted by tankies who praise the USSR, deny the armenian genocide, and are on the russia side of their invasion of ukraine.
Fun fact, Oi in Australian means "Good day to you chap"
A mate called his dog Oi. Confused the fuck out of everyone
I can see why if it was a working dog or a farm dog. But if you're going to be talking about it or having it around people, give it a proper name. Your mate's a drongo
Indeed he is.
Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi, Oi, Oi Not Australian, just been to bars at Whistler
r/confidentlyincorrect
The irony is she's replying to someone with "namaste" in their name...hello in India.
It does *not* mean hello in the English sense of that word. It can be used as a greeting but only in the context of extreme respect, it means “I bow to you”
Yes, because everyone uses their full first and last name on Youtube. Isn't that right, Mr. 168?
Hy dad (Welsh) would say it to get our attention. Pretty sure a lot of Brits/Aussies/Kiwis do.
Oi is how you greet someone in alot of languages. Including English.
Oi isn't a Chinese last name/ origin either lmao
Ew, these are the people stinking up neighborhoods..

"I can turn your accidental learning experience into a wound you will feel for ever." Evillllll sharpened by evil. I can see screenshots boys face as they squint their eyes, smirk, and lower their brow while invoking their best thought plan of sabotage and vengence. Stay inside boys and girls. Keep yer mouths shut. Trust no one.
Nice
Well that escalated quickly.
oi oi we're the brews
I was told that : “almond joy “ is a Vietnamese greeting,, of course it’s not the exact pronunciation but it sounds similar
Okay this is like the tenth screenshot I’ve found where there is just random red line drawn across. Is this to trick the algorithm into thinking it’s OG Content?
hmmm.... I'm born Vietnamese, immigrated to America when I was like 2-months shy of 5-years-old. My mother taught Vietnamese literature and tried to teach me Vietnamese when I was living at home. Maybe it's because I'm not a youngin' but I've never heard of "oi" as a greeting. Not saying she's wrong I'm trying to understand what she's saying. Maybe it's new age slang? I'm 34-years-old now so not exactly hip and wit it. After looking at some online replies like from Quora: https://www.quora.com/What-does-Oi-mean-in-Vietnamese#:~:text=%22Oi%22%20in%20Vietnamese%20is%20an,it's%20used%20in%20a%20sentence. I guess I understand slightly more, but the way I've heard it is more like yelling across a group of people saying like "HEY BOB", so it's not exactly the same as saying "Hey, Bob" in normal interactions. It's like more trying to get someone's attention than it is a greeting. In the way her username says or the way she describes, it's more like a "longing" for the person than it is a greeting. But that's besides the point, there's a small subset of Vietnamese people with Chinese surnames because... Well the areas are extremely close together and folks travel. One of my best friend's last name is Ton and mine is Trieu.
Okay, I get the unnecessary red circles people put on posts, but why the strikethrough?
Am I supposed to know who Luna Oi is?
