Well, without the proper tones it doesn’t really mean anything, but I’m guessing you mean, “Anh đẹp trai”. If this is said to a man it basically means, “You are a handsome guy”. If you’re talking about someone else it’d mean, “he’s a handsome guy”.
A breakdown of the terms:
Anh = elder brother (also used generically to address slightly older men)
đẹp = beautiful
trai = don’t think this has a literal meaning, but when used with đẹp it implies “man”, so đẹp trai = “handsome man”. (FYI, đẹp gái is the female equivalent, meaning roughly “pretty girl”)
Remember, when it comes to Vietnamese….tones tones TONES!
Depending on the context, it can mean :
either: You are handsome
or sometimes : A handsome guy, a handsome man
When asking a question, you should give more information about the phrase such as who spoke and to whom, where and when it was spoken.
