Contexto cultural
The Saigon Central Post Office is a symbol of the 'gửi thư' culture. People still go there to write letters at the old wooden desks. During the war, letters were often written on scraps of paper and took months to arrive. They are now historical artifacts. Gen Z in Vietnam uses 'gửi thư tay' as a romantic gesture, often accompanied by dried flowers or wax seals. In Vietnamese business culture, a physical 'thư cảm ơn' (thank you letter) after a meeting is seen as extremely prestigious.
Email vs Letter
If you are in a modern city like Saigon, just say 'gửi email'. People will understand you better than if you say 'gửi thư điện tử'.
Tone Matters
Make sure to get the 'hỏi' tone right on 'gửi'. If you say it with a flat tone, it might sound like 'gui' which has no meaning.
