o with me often, right or not?

When "luôn" appears at the end of the sentence, it is difficult to translate it into English, but it can be translated as "一直" in Chinese.

e.g 1 "Anh ko muon di voi em luon" (你一直不跟我去)
e.g 2 "O ben day muon an cai do ma e dau goi cai do la cai gi, boi vay nhin doi luon." (在這里我想吃奌什麼, 卻不知那些東西叫什麼, 只好一直餓著)

Just my 2 dong of advice.
