"Vâng, mẹ của tôi vẫn ổn."

Translation: Yes, my mother is still fine.

[Mr.ChrisKing]

Is it just me or does it is there and extra sound between Mẹ and của. I always get this one wrong because Mẹ just doesn't sound right to me (I live in Vietnam so this one of the words I recognise easily usually)

[Silivren_Saew]

Yeah, definitely. And the tone of the word Mẹ doesnt sound right for me

[SheTuti]

I hear 'me à' not 'mẹ'

[Croakie321]

There is a vocal glottal fry at the end of the vowel that has the dot under it. The dot is called (nạng). It could make it sound as you said, perhaps, depending on the vocalist. Perhaps you would benefit from reading the section about how to read and pronounce vietnamese characters. Hope this helped.

[rocha92]

Me too, and I've just heard "Ma" some times (easier to remember it means "mom")

[RedBird73105]

Does anyone else hear a â between mẹ and của?

[VivianNguy]

The word ổn doesnt seem to be pronounced in the correct tone...or is this a case like cảm ơn being pronounced as cám ơn?

[SheTuti]

I don't think so, for me it sounds fine

[DarinWard1]

Sounds more like ồn

[RoiLatio]

Mother is still mom right?

[wgisland]

"Mother's" should be accepted

[Anne495298]

Alternatively,

"Dạ, má của tôi vẫn khỏe."

or

"Dạ, má của tôi vẫn bình an."
