Do you always reply to her talking to you as "da" (pronounce as ya). Read somewhere before "da" is how people response in south Vietnam when older people call them. Means when people older than me call me, I reply with da (ya). When people younger than me call me, I don't use da at all. Maybe that's what she meant.
