I almost did that. XD But then I thought it would have been "Tôi là con gà giàu."

Yep, haha!

Glad I wasn't the only one

No... mine was on a typo of hate ... ;-;

I put down "I hide the chickens" and was wrong

Yes, people who speak with a Southern accent would pronounce this sentence differently.

We Vietnamese often left out the word 'đã', which indicates the past tense, in casual conversations. However, I believe the fixed answer in present tense is there for learners who haven't been yet introduced to the past tense.

I agree on the English grammar part though. :D

<hide> (intransitive verb) = ẩn mình/giấu mình/ẩn nấp/nấp/núp etc.

I use trốn.

'Tôi giấu mình' = 'i hid myself'

'mình' = myself, I believe

"Con" and "cái" are just classifiers for most nouns. They don't mean "one/a/an". Use "một" instead when you want to say "one/a/an". For examples:

• A/ONE cat = MỘT con mèo;

• AN/ONE owl = MỘT con cú.

In Vietnamese, a noun, whether countable or uncountable, never changes its form at all. If you want to count something, you put a number or a quantity in front of the noun. For examples:

• chicken = con gà -> chickenS = NHỮNG/CÁC con gà;

• A/ONE chicken = MỘT con gà;

• TWO chickenS = HAI con gà;

• salt = muối;

• A grain of salt = MỘT hạt/hột muối;

• THREE tonnes of salt = BA tấn muối.

"Con" dùng để chỉ con vật (animal) "cái" dùng để chỉ đồ vật (ex: chair, table, pen, mug....)

No it wouldn't... The sentence is in present tense.

[Edit]

When 'g' is followed by 'i' to make 'gi', you pronounce 'gi' as /z/ [Northern dialects]. Otherwise, 'g' is pronounced as /g/. 'g' is never pronounced as /s/, ever. For examples:

• /z/: GIấy (paper), GIẻ (rag), GIò (leg), GIun (worm), etc.;

• /g/: Gà (chicken), Găng (glove), Gấu (bear), GHen (jealous), GHế (chair), Góc (angle), Gốc (base), Gợi (to recall), Gục (to faint), Gừng (ginger), etc.

'gi' is pronounced as /j/ in the South though.
