Bedeutung
Stating a hobby or preference.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Going to the cinema is often paired with 'đi uống trà sữa' (drinking milk tea). It's a complete social package. The word 'phim' is one of many French loanwords in Vietnamese, showing the historical influence of France on Vietnamese culture. Vietnamese people love to check-in at the cinema. Posting a photo of your ticket is a common way to say you are 'thích xem phim'. In the South, 'coi' is preferred over 'xem'. If you are in Saigon, saying 'Mình thích coi phim' will make you sound very local.
Use 'mình' for friends
To sound more like a local friend, swap 'tôi' for 'mình'.
Don't say 'nhìn'
Remember, 'nhìn' is for looking at a picture, 'xem' is for watching the movie.
