          On a previous example I thought qua was used for fruit rather than trai. Could someone please explain or have I remembered wrong? (excuse my spelling - I don't have a Vietnamese keyboard)

            Quả is used as a classifier for small "sperical" objects like an orange. It will also be used for eggs. Trái is for fruits only
