Vietnamese generally shake hands when greeting and parting. Using both hands show respect, as

does a slight bow of the head. In rural areas, elderly people who don’t extend their hand are

greeted with a slight bow. Women are more likely to bow the head slightly than to shake hands.

Vietnamese names begin with the family name and are followed by a given name. For example, in

the name Nguyen Van Duc, Nguyen is the family name. People address one another by their given

names, but add a title that indicated their perceived relationship to the other person. These titles are

family related rather than professional. Among colleagues, for example, the younger of the two

might combine the given name with the title of Anh (“older Brother). A basic greeting combined

with the given name and title is Xin chao (“Hello”). Classifiers for gender and familiarity are also

combined with the greeting. In formal meetings, business cards are sometimes exchanged on

greeting.

Vietnamese have a strong sense of hospitality and feel embarrassed if they cannot show their

guests full respect by preparing for their arrival. Therefore, it is inappropriate to visit a home

without having been invited. Gifts are not required, but are appreciated. Flowers incense, or tea

may be appropriate gifts for the hosts. Hosts also appreciate a small gift for their children or

elderly parents.
