Re: Dare or Not Dare
Indeed, I was misinformed. I thought an older Cambodian man told me, very emphatically, not to use because it was like wagging your finger in somebody's face and accusatory. It now appears I must have misunderstood him. Always good to learn new things, though I'm a little disheartened to know that people I've meant to slyly insult have walked away unscathed.prahkeitouj wrote:Calling someone "Neak" doesn't express or mean that you are mad with them.

You might hear this word in the news or drama.If I'm mad at you. I say "neak" because I think it is rude and I want you to know I'm mad (though this is very rare).

Re: Dare or Not Dare
Normally we don't call anyone Neak, but i was surpried when i went there. Sometimes not only barangs,but Cambodians also confused. Sometimes we use different words to refer to same thing if we are from different provinces :p it's funny when Khmer don't understand KhmerSamouth wrote:Right what the old guy told you is not true. lolzz there are so many bad words you can say when you are mad at anyone.MekongMouse wrote:Indeed, I was misinformed.

Re: Dare or Not Dare
This is completely true. i had hard time when i was on 1 week mission to Odormeanchay and Siem Reap, some of Cambodians there speak dialect. Most of the time i could't get them. i could get them 80% as long as i paid more attention. The funny thing was that they said i don't speak khmer clearly. I am from Sihanoukville where people speak really clear.prahkeitouj wrote:Normally we don't call anyone Neak, but i was surpried when i went there.
