Common English Names - Some popular English names
Usually, there are two cases that can occur: names that need to be spelled out and names that do not. Why spell out names? Because many names have similar pronunciations that can cause confusion.
Ví dụ: Connor và Conor, Anna hay Ana, Thompson và Thomson … đều là những từ có cách phát âm giống hệt hoặc khá giống nhau.
If you encounter this case, you need to carefully listen to the pronunciation of each letter and quickly write it down. However, if it falls into the other case, meaning these names are common and do not require spelling, your task is to listen, make educated guesses, and accurately fill in the blanks. This is more challenging because a name may be familiar and common to one person but unfamiliar to another.
Therefore, it's important to familiarize yourself with common names for both men and women in English beforehand.
Nationality - Quốc tịch
In addition to personal names, it's crucial to understand how to write and pronounce the names of common countries and their adjectives. Many people confuse the concepts of country names and nationality, which are two distinct concepts.
For example: He comes from Canada (country). He is Canadian (nationality).
Tính từ chỉ quốc tịch kết thúc bằng -ese or -ish để chỉ tất cả những người có quốc tịch đó. Tính từ được liệt kê cũng thường để chỉ đến ngôn ngữ được nói tại nước đó (tuy nhiên không phải luôn luôn như vậy)
For instance:
- Quốc gia: I live in Japan.
- Tính từ: He likes Japanese food.
- Nguồn gốc: She is a Japanese person. = She is from Japan. = She is Japanese.
- Ngôn ngữ: She speaks Japanese.
- Miêu tả một nhóm: Spaniards often drink wine. = Spanish people often drink wine.
- Miêu tả một nhóm: The Chinese enjoy fireworks. = Chinese people enjoy fireworks.
