Can anyone break down the words in this. So far I've got:

Hello, ...

    cứ = anyway
    tự nhiên = natural
    Can be understood as: Please be natural, anyway (don't be nervous 'bout us).

      For those who know Chinese: tự nhiên = 自然

        Why is it just "Chào" here and not "Xin chào"?

          Xin is just a polite way of saying hello. It is often left out in spoken language.
