Long explanation:

The Vietnamese phrase 'các ông' is a personal pronoun. 'Các' is a plural marker, and 'ông' is usually used to call older men, referring to a single individual. So, 'các ông' would mean 'older men' or 'you all' in a respectful tone when addressing a group of older men. It's important to note the cultural and age respect in Vietnamese.
