If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

There is (was?) a long time barang business owner on the riverfront who I assume does not speak Khmer because when I hear his employees talking about him (in front of him) in the third person they refer to him as 'via'.

Re: Dare or Not Dare
I find Kompong Thom and Kompong Chnang have the strongest accents. They're almost like the Swiss with their yodeling voices.
What does via mean? I've actually never heard it. "ah-kot" is also quite bad...

Via means It. Normally we use it to refer to thing or animal. Ah Kot or Ah kot nis is not really rude. We use this phrase for man and especially when the person is really boring or behaving silly.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote:I find Kompong Thom and Kompong Chnang have the strongest accents.
