معنی
Asking about someone's profession.
زمینه فرهنگی
Asking about work is a sign of interest, not nosiness. It helps people place you in the social hierarchy and decide which pronouns to use. People may use the word 'công tác' instead of 'làm' to sound more formal or to imply a government/state-owned company role. The tone is often more casual. You might hear 'Làm gì kiếm sống?' (What do you do to earn a living?) in very informal settings. In overseas communities (USA, France, Australia), the question remains a staple, but younger generations might mix it with English job titles.
The 'Ạ' Factor
Always add 'ạ' at the end when asking someone older. It instantly makes you sound more fluent and respectful.
Don't just say 'Bạn'
If you use 'Bạn' for a teacher or a boss, it sounds very rude. Use 'Thầy/Cô' or 'Sếp' instead.

خودت رو بسنج
Choose the correct word to complete the question: 'Bạn ___ nghề gì?'
Bạn ___ nghề gì?
In Vietnamese, you use the verb 'làm' (to do/work) when asking about a profession.
Fill in the missing pronoun to ask an older man about his job politely.
___ làm nghề gì ạ?
'Anh' is used for a man slightly older than you. Adding 'ạ' at the end makes it polite.
Match the question with the most logical answer.
1. Bạn làm nghề gì? | 2. Bạn tên là gì? | 3. Bạn khỏe không?
'Làm nghề gì' asks for a profession, so 'bác sĩ' (doctor) is the correct match.
Complete the dialogue.
Nam: Chào Hoa. ___ làm nghề gì? Hoa: Mình làm kế toán.
Since Nam and Hoa are likely peers, 'Bạn' is the appropriate pronoun.
Which phrase is best for a formal business meeting?
Asking a CEO about their work.
