Vietnamese

Etymology

From Proto-Vietic *ʔɛːm, from Proto-Mon-Khmer *(sʔ)iəm; cognate with Pacoh a-em (“younger sibling”).

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, housewives call their husband anh and the husbands call their wife em. In Nghệ Tĩnh, "husband and wife" is called gấy nhông.

Noun

(classifier đứa, thằng, con) em • (㛪, 俺, 腌)

1. a younger sibling

   (đứa/thằng/con) em (của) em ― my younger sibling/brother/sister

2. someone who's presumably a little younger than you, or old enough relative to you to be your younger sibling
   • [2012, Ruelle, Joe, “People pháp [Peoprammar]”, in Ngược chiều vun vút [Whooshing toward the Other Way]‎^[5]:

     Ví dụ, tôi có một người bạn 30 tuổi tên Thủy. Tôi và bạn ấy có một người bạn chung tên Huyền, mới 25 tuổi. Khi nhắc bạn Thủy với bạn Huyền, tôi có thể dùng “chị”.
     “Huyền ơi, em nhớ qua nhà chị Thủy lấy chìa khóa nhé!”
     Ý tôi là “Thủy: chị của em”. Mặc dù Thủy là em của tôi (năm nay tôi 32 tuổi), nhưng khi nhắc Thủy trong câu trên tôi sẽ “nói hộ” Huyền. Đơn giản phải không? Khi nhắc người B trong lúc nói chuyện với người A thì mình có thể dùng đại từ xưng hô nói hộ người A.
     Không đơn giản như thế đâu nhé. (Mà với nhiều người nước ngoài học tiếng Việt, cái “đơn giản” ấy đã khủng khiếp lắm rồi). Trời sẽ mưa gió.
     Ví dụ, tôi thuê nhà cùng anh Hoàng, 40 tuổi, và anh Quân, 37 tuổi. Anh Hoàng gọi anh Quân bằng “em”, nhưng tôi không nên nói:
     “Anh Hoàng ơi, anh nhớ qua phòng em Quân lấy chìa khóa nhé!”
     Ý tôi là “Quân: em của anh”, nhưng vì một luật people pháp nào đó nên ý tôi không ra. Tôi phải nói “qua phòng anh Quân lấy chìa khóa”. Có nghĩa là tôi không được nói hộ anh Hoàng. Tôi không được nói từ góc nhìn anh Hoàng mà phải nói từ góc nhìn của chính mình. Góc nhìn khiêm tốn nhất.

     Let's say I have a 30-year-old friend named Thuỷ. She and I share a 25-year-old friend named Huyền. When I talk about Thuỷ to Huyền, I can use chị.
     "Huyền, don't forget to go get the keys at chị Thuỷ's!"
     What I mean is "Thuỷ is your chị." Even though Thuỷ is actually my em (I'm 32), when I talk about her I have to use what Huyền would use. Simple right? When you talk about B to A, you can use the pronoun A would use.
     Oh no no no, anything but simple. (And to most foreign learners, that "simple" usage above is already an ordeal). There will be a rainstorm.
     Let's say I share a flat with Hoàng (40) and Quân (37). Hoàng calls Quân his em, but I can't really say:
     "Anh Hoàng, don't forget to go get the keys in em Quân's room!"
     What I mean is "Quân is your em", but because of some weird peoprammar, that doesn't sound quite right. What I should say is "go get the keys in anh Quân's room". Which mean I can't use what Hoàng would use. I can't speak from his perspective, but from my own. From the most humble one.]
