VI
Together with, included along with, or accompanying something else.

Etymology
"Kèm" derives from Old Vietnamese meaning "to attach," while "theo" means "following," so the phrase literally means "attached following." It has been used in Vietnamese since the 15th century to describe items included with another item.
Memory Aid
Think of "kèm" as "come" and "theo" as "together" – kèm theo means come together with the main item.
