Question about Vietnamese phrase!!?

Question

i want to know what the difference between Cha^u A' and A' Cha^u in Vietnamese is (while they only mean Asia in English)?? [u may answer in Vietnamese if u wished to!] =)

Answer 1

Châu Á là tiếng quốc ngữ Việt, Á Châu là tiếng Hán.  Trong tiếng Hán, tÄ©nh từ đi trước danh từ while in Việt it's the other way.  Trong chữ Á châu, Á là tÄ©nh từ (Asian continent) while Châu Á= the continent of Asia.

Answer 2

I think the only difference is that Chau A sounds like a noun and A Chau is used more as an adjective. I don't really know Vietnamese that well. One of my friends is Asia and her parents often call her both way Dong Phuong or Phuong Dong . Personally, I think this makes Vietnamese different from other languages.
