Certain expressions r useful to know:
kg co ji - it's ok
kg van de - no problem (used more in hanoi)

True. But if you want to get into the whole formal speaking aspect of conversation, I guess you could include this...
to a stranger
"toi ten la nozila, ban ten la ji?"
my name is nozila, (friend) what is your name?
now that would be speaking to a total stranger.
also, perhaps you might take into consideration age differences which also uses the terms Anh and Em
"anh di hoc, em lam ji vay?"
Im going to school, what are you doing?
In the above sentence, the age of the person speaking (anh) and to whom them are speaking to (em) hasnt been gender specified. But you would think Anh is a guy and Em is a girl.
so, what would happen if I say...
"em di hoc, chi lam ji vay?"
