anh

LL-Q9199 (vie)-Jessica Nguyen (Pamputt)-anh.wav

Inherited from Proto-Vietic *ʔɛːŋ (“elder brother”).
According to Phan Kế Bính's Việt Nam phong tục (1915), apparently the practice of calling each other anh-em for those in relationship originated from the province of Quảng Nam:
1915, Phan Kế Bính, Việt Nam phong tục [Vietnamese customs]:
— Vợ chồng con nhà sang trọng, gọi nhau bằng cậu mợ, thầy thông thầy phán thì gọi nhau bằng thầy cô, nhà thường thì gọi nhau bằng anh chị. Có con rồi thì gọi nhau bằng thầy em đẻ em, nhà thô tục thì gọi nhau là bố cu mẹ đĩ, có người thì gọi bố nó mẹ nó, có người cả hai vợ chồng gọi lẫn nhau là nhà ta. Ở Quảng-Nam thì vợ gọi chồng là anh, chồng gọi vợ là em. Ở Nghệ Tĩnh vợ chồng gọi là gấy nhông.
Spouses from wealthy families tend to call each other cậu and mợ; those employed by the government prefer thầy and cô; while in an average household, they call each other anh and chị. Couples with children call each other thầy em [father of the little one] and đẻ em [mother of the little one], while those from low-born families use bố cu and mẹ đĩ; there are also those who say bố nó and mẹ nó and those who both call each other nhà ta. In Quảng Nam, a housewife would call her husband anh and a husband would call his wife em. In Nghệ Tĩnh, "husband and wife" is called gấy nhông.

LL-Q9199 (vie)-Jessica Nguyen (Pamputt)-lịch sử.wav

1845, Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, The Holy Family, “Hinrichs No. 2. ‘Criticism’ and ‘Feuerbach’. Condemnation of Philosophy”
Lịch sử không làm gì hết, nó ‘không có tính phong phú vô cùng tận nào cả’, nó ‘không chiến đấu ở trận nào cả’! Không phải ‘lịch sử’, mà chính con người, con người thực sự, con người sống mới là kẻ làm ra tất cả những cái đó, có tất cả những cái đó và chiến đấu cho tất cả những cái đó. ‘Lịch sử’ không phải là một nhân cách đặc thù nào đó sử dụng con người làm phương tiện đạt tới các mục đích của mình. Lịch sử' chẳng qua chỉ là hoạt động của con người theo đuổi mục đích của bản thân mình.
History does nothing, it ‘possesses no immense wealth’, it ‘wages no battles’. It is man, real, living man who does all that, who possesses and fights; ‘history’ is not, as it were, a person apart, using man as a means to achieve its own aims; history is nothing but the activity of man pursuing his aims.
