뜻
Getting a present from someone.
문화적 배경
Receiving a gift is a social contract. You are expected to remember the gesture and return it on a future occasion (reciprocity). The 'polite refusal' is often more pronounced here. You might need to offer a gift three times before they finally 'nhận quà'. Gifts are often given at the end of a meeting. 'Nhận quà' in this context is a sign of a successful partnership. Receiving 'Lì xì' is the most iconic form of 'nhận quà'. Children must cross their arms and say a wish before receiving.
The Two-Hand Rule
Always, always use two hands when receiving a gift from someone older or in a formal setting. It's the #1 way to show you know Vietnamese culture.
Add 'Được'
Saying 'Tôi được nhận quà' sounds much more natural and happy than just 'Tôi nhận quà'.

Don't Open Immediately
Unless the giver says 'Mở ra đi!' (Open it!), it's safer to wait until you are alone to open the gift.
The Polite Refusal
If someone offers a gift, say 'Thôi, không cần đâu' once before accepting. It shows you aren't greedy.
