Re: Is the $5 per day overstay rule still in place?
Thanks for the tip, it will be my 20th anniversary of first arriving here next month, and I never once thought that speaking that spaghetti-looking language would be any use. I just shout in colloquial English louder and louder until they get the point, while scratching my spondulicks in a wife-beater and dribbling all over the place. Your posts have been a revelation to me, thanks again.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Just keep digging. You are the one bringing up pronunciation, so you're just discussing this with yourself. The issue Fax brought up was the conversion from Khmer to Latin script. Not pronunciation.explorer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 7:23 pm As people read this forum who don't speak Khmer, I will explain this. Here is the issue.
There are some people who contribute to this forum who don't speak Khmer, but just find information on the internet. If they get it wrong, they don't know, because they don't speak the language. People who speak the language well, know how it is pronounced.
Think about the letter 'y' in English. If you look on the internet you may find out it is pronounced as in 'yes,' 'you' or 'yellow,' and that is correct.
But what about the word 'happy' or 'funny.' It is pronounced completely different.
Some letters can be pronounced differently in different situations, in English and Khmer.
What about the Khmer letter 'ប.'
When it is at the beginning of a word, it is normally pronounced like the letter 'b' in English.
But when it is at the end of a word, it is normally pronounced like the letter 'p' in English.
fax found out from the internet that it was pronounced like the 'b' in English. But missed the part where it is normally pronounced like the 'p' in English when at the end of a word.
He even missed it in the information he was providing. Notice at the right, it can be pronounced like 'b' or 'p.'
I would like to encourage people to learn Khmer. Your experience in the country may be so much better.

Re: Is the $5 per day overstay rule still in place?
Emmm... so still not sure if I can pay the overstay at a land border or not...
From my perspective on the language controversy, the Khmer letter in question actually varies from a 'p' to a 'b' depending on the word, and as one person mentioned, it can also be between the two like a 'bp' sound. It seems that I remember that other letters in Khmer also have this same tendency. It's strange, but I think it results from the writing of words being quite old, whereas the pronunciation evolves over time, in some cases leaving the original written version behind.
And then of course there are regional variations as well as individual variations.

Much of this occurs because we think of it from the perspective of English. They don't determine their pronunciation with reverence to English. English letters can be said in different ways, and Khmer letters can be said in different ways.daeum_tnaot wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 2:19 pm From my perspective on the language controversy, the Khmer letter in question actually varies from a 'p' to a 'b' depending on the word, and as one person mentioned, it can also be between the two like a 'bp' sound.

Yes, if your overstay is less than 30 days then you can pay the overstay fine of $10 per day at any international border.daeum_tnaot wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 2:19 pm Emmm... so still not sure if I can pay the overstay at a land border or not...
Overstays of 30+ days must be settled at the DoI in Pochentong and an Exit Visa obtained.

Always useful to know just in case keeping "the single most important document" up-to-date ever slips my mindPSD-Kiwi wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 10:20 pmYes, if your overstay is less than 30 days then you can pay the overstay fine of $10 per day at any international border.daeum_tnaot wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 2:19 pm Emmm... so still not sure if I can pay the overstay at a land border or not...

Re: Is the $5 per day overstay rule still in place?
Not totally in agreement. Yes it is true that some letters in English have more than one pronunciation. But I think it is fairly standardized (with some variations depending on dialect, for example the silent 'h' sound).explorer wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 2:36 pmMuch of this occurs because we think of it from the perspective of English.

Having studied a few other languages, Khmer seems to be unusual to me in the extent to which there is ambiguity about sounds of certain letters, that fluctuate between two sounds, or somewhere dead in the middle. Another example is the 'd', 't', and 'dt' sound. Again, I am speculating but I suspect that this is because of archaic spellings.
