"Anh ấy cười và nói với tôi rằng anh ấy yêu tôi."

Translation: He smiles and tells me that he loves me.

When should we use "rằng" and when can we omit it?

[huynhduykhanh]

rằng = that

[hippietrail]

Are you saying that Vietnamese "rằng" is equally optional as English “that”?

[StewartMM]

But you can drop it from the English translation and your'e fine.

[kuyaC]

Same as là?

[Raveena316117]

Warm and fuzzy

[StewartMM]

Again, in English, "that"--rằng-- is optional. Is this also the case in VIetnamese?

[JNguyenJN]

Native Vietnamese speaker here. Yes, you can omit "rằng".

Would love responses to the questions on this thread from a moderator, or any native Vietnamese speaker.

Native Vietnamese speaker here. You can definitely omit the word "rằng" in sentences such as so, especially in daily conversations.
