Have you ever been called "Ah" in Khmer?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

If you explained something and I understood, then you are good at explaining. :) My wife explained somethings to me and I don't get it all...

also is this the same Pluer as Pan Ron sings in the song Rom Min Ch'aet Te
"Jong tae rom rom rom rom tul pluer"

also what does Ch'aet mean?
Hehehe... as I told you i'm not good at wring. Maybe Pler means stupid, but in the song is another word.
Rom tul pluer means dance till sun rises.
Ch'aet means full.
Pleur also means 'crazy' so it might be a bad reference (I haven't heard the song) to crazy love.

As Samouth mentioned above, they are different sound and meaning.
