Short explanation:

Formation:

It is used in place of personal pronoun in a sentence where such a pronoun or a name would otherwise be used.

Examples:

I'm asking you (an adult male younger than parents but older than oneself), what do you think about this picture?

Chú ấy rất thân thiện và tốt bụng.

Long explanation:

In Vietnamese, the kinship term 'chú' is used as a personal pronoun to refer to or address men who are younger than one's parents but older than oneself. This term embodies the importance of family relationships in Vietnamese society and is used regardless of actual familial relation, emphasizing the importance of respect in social communication.
