Thank for your help. I also checked with one VB. She told me that "noi dat khach que nguoi" means people who stay foreign land for a long time and become like native people. "người" here should be "people"

The other sentence I posted turned out to be a puzzle. The answer is a common household item. I will post the translation and answer later so you have something to work on today. hehehe.
