**it's obvious, after all (mild reproach)**

Pattern: `[statement] + (rồi) còn gì!`

Level: B1 (our estimate) · Register: everyday · Medium: spoken

Typed without accents: con gi

*Còn gì* at the end of a statement means "…, you know that", "…, remember?" or "…, after all". It reminds someone of something they should already know, and it often follows *rồi*: *Em nói với anh rồi còn gì!* I told you already! Word for word it asks "what else is there?", as if nothing more needs saying.

There's usually a mild reproach in it: you forgot, you weren't listening, you can't back out now. *Đi đi, anh hứa rồi còn gì.* Come on, you promised. Said lightly, it's just a friendly nudge: *Mình gặp nhau ở đám cưới Lan rồi còn gì.* We met at Lan's wedding, remember?

*Mà* at the end is close, and you'll hear it more often in Saigon: *Em nói rồi mà!* *Mà* pushes back when someone doubts you; *còn gì* points to what the other person already knows. Both are for friends and family. With someone older, *còn gì* can sound like a telling-off, so a gentle *mà* after *dạ* is safer: *Dạ, em nói rồi mà.*

Don't mix it up with the question *Còn gì nữa không?*, "Anything else?". With *nữa không* at the end, it's a real question. And *Chứ còn gì nữa!* on its own is a strong "Of course!"
