Nhieu chuyen = talkative
Tro chuyen = chat, liao tian.
Chuyen is common used as the story/action/event. chuyên = shi. Gu shi, yi jian shi or hui shi.

Chuyen also means transfer if followed by tien (money) [chuyên tien].

Dun be upset. If there was a tieng viet test, the sentences used there would be the sentences w/o those mistakes. Those mistakes made the sentence misunderstandable n even meaningless. Knowing about the high ratio of population in southern provinces, nearly 100%, finished junior high school, I cant believe that those sentences r written by a mature gal. A kid at three year in elementary can write even better than her.

I beg to differ..
I think when WL here say "nhieu chuyen", it means 多事 or 很多是非..
For example, if they see people drinking and fighting on the street, they will say "nhieu chuyen"

I remember once when I ate super with a lady and we saw one man and one woman fighting so hard on the street. She watched the live show and laughed so hard. She said something like "em nghi chi vietnam co nhieu chuyen nhung singapore cung co nhieu chuyen." (I think only vietnam has lots of things but singapore also has a lot).

Nhieu chuyen really have many meanings.

If nhieu chuyen come as a adjective:
1. Talkative (noi nhieu, talk to much). Husband always complains his wife, ba nhieu chuyen (noi nhieu) qua lam toi nhuc ca dau.
2. Too curious. As u say above, who curious to see people fighting on the street, they r nhieu chuyen. My ex bf is a nhieu chuyen person. When sth happened on the street, he stared his eyes at there. I alwayside yell 'sao ma anh nhieu chuyen qua vay, di thoi keo nguoi ta danh trung minh bay gio'.
3. Troublesome, troublemaker. When 2 gals go shopping, n one of them cant buy anything because she dun be please at item's style, price, brand..., the other will say 'met may qua, may nhieu chuyen qua'.

If nhieu chuyen come as a noun, it means a lot of things/events (happening). Dao nay nhieu chuyen xay ra lam em met qua, as an example.

Dear bro,
Gossip = tam (8)

I doubt if they put this 'tam' into any vietnamese dictionary yet. A slang using very common n I cant find any other else to replace.

U can use 8 as verb or adj.

A gossip woman also is called 'ba tam' (ba 8)

If u wan to score higher marks u must go to the ground and practise. Jio u a few sessions to go to those basic level training ground (**pubs) u not interested, u choose to go to those intermediate ground (** GL ktv) and at the end the objectives not fulfilled
Last few days i went to even more basic level training ground at 15 and 18, found that the quality improved. Hope this can spurs u to learn more....

"You know vietnamese words a lot already"? is correct too. Her meaning is to ask her partner about his Vietnamese level.

Hmm.. interesting. Maybe my understanding at that time was wrong then. Perhaps she wanted to say that not only vietnamese but also singaporean are very curious to watch live show.

Is "nhieu chuyen qua" one of the reason you and your ex-bf broke up? When I think back, I feel that I am also nhieu chuyen. Maybe a lot of guys are like that.

Sustainable growth big concern for 2010
================================================== ======

VietNamNet Bridge – Though industries have regained growth after a long difficult period, economists have pointed out that recovery is precarious when the growth depends on the investment scale, low labor costs and Vietnamese products that primarily compete using low prices.

Industries make up nearly 40 percent of the GDP and their recovery in the last months of 2009 greatly helped Vietnam’s national economy obtain its growth rate of 5-5.2 percent.


High growth, but high inventories

Processing industries contributed the most to the recovery in the second half of the year, including animal feed production, garment and footwear, household electric goods and construction materials.

The growth rate of mining industries decreased mostly because of lower prices in the world market. This has not caused problems for the national economy, since raw material exports do not benefit the national economy in the long term.

The recovery was mostly created in the private economic sector and foreign invested enterprises (FIEs). State-owned enterprises, although holding a large volume of national assets and having many advantages, only obtained a growth rate equal to half that of FIEs and only 38 percent of the private sector.

The high industrial growth rate loses its significance, however, when noting that many products cannot be sold.

According to the General Statistics Office, by November 2009 the inventory volume of many industries was higher than the same period of the previous year. For example, leatherette footwear stock increased by 149 percent, wooden chairs by 132 percent, and other important goods such as fertilizer, construction materials, fabric, animal feed and wooden furniture, had higher inventories.

Purchasing power uncertain

The high purchasing power of the domestic market clearly helped Vietnam successfully stop the economic downturn.

However, purchasing power in the second half of the year increased more slowly. In the first 11 months of 2009, the total retail turnover of goods and services increased by 18.5 percent, a considerable growth rate, but still lower than the 31 percent increase in 2008 and previous years.

Economic experts do not think that domestic consumption will be much higher in 2010, because the short-term interest rate subsidy program has ended. The Government itself will also have to tighten spending in order to prevent high inflation and reduce the budget deficit.


Export markets narrow

Vietnamese exporters say they are not optimistic about export markets in 2010. The facts that Vietnam now cannot enjoy GSP any more, while it is bearing the 10 percent anti-dumping tariff on leather-capped shows to the EU, led to a sharp 15 percent fall in footwear exports.

Vietnam’s PE bags are also likely to lose the US market, if the country imposes an anti-dumping tariff calculated to be 52 percent at the lowest.

Seafood producers are concerned that their export turnover may drop by $400 million if problems on certifying the origins of aquatic products cannot be settled.

Garment producers prove to be more optimistic. Chairman of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas) Le Quoc An predicted that the industry may obtain a 10 percent export turnover growth rate in 2010.

Electronics manufacturers prove to be the most confident. With Samsung mobile phone factory operations, industry export turnover is expected to double in 2010.


Seeking sustainable growth

According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment, Vietnam’s economic growth has relied mainly on the increase of investment. Meanwhile, the capability of mobilizing more capital for investment and labor has nearly hit the critical point.

The ministry has warned that it will be difficult to maintain a high growth rate in the future if Vietnam continues to rely on investment.

Vietnam will not obtain sustainable growth if it does not both shift to business fields that can bring high added value and try to obtain growth based on productivity, quality and the use of strength.
