Re: intermarriage Asian and White
The way this translates into English (if I understand it correctly) is probably not how you intend for an English speaker to hear it - for us, talking about cross-breed people not being acceptable reminds us of Hitler and the Nazis. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way.Come on. This made me sad when you don't understand it.What do you mean ? :pកូនកាត់ខ្លះអត់ស្អាតទេ។ កូនកាត់ភាគច្រើនដែលស្អាតគឺកូនកាត់ដែលមានម្ដាយខ្មែរ និង ឪពុកបារាំង តែបើឪពុកខ្មែរម្ដាយបារាំងវិញកូនកាត់នោះមិនសូវស្អាតទេ។

I'm just not understanding the "not clean" part.Most hybrid is a hybrid whose mother Khmer French father and French mother if the father Khmer hybrid was not very clean.

Hello Stroppy, i didn't mean to not let other Native speaker understand what i wrote. I just want to encourage and praise Mr. Username Taken for his effort and hard working to study khmer. What's why i responded it in Khmer. Moreover, what i wrote was not originally my idea or belief. This is the stereotype of Cambodian toward half blood kid. I will translate it.StroppyChops wrote:The way this translates into English (if I understand it correctly) is probably not how you intend for an English speaker to hear it - for us, talking about cross-breed people not being acceptable reminds us of Hitler and the Nazis.

Khmer
Some half blood kids are not cute. Some half blood kids that are really cute are those whose mother is Cambodian and father is white and for those whose father is Cambodian and mother is white, they are not really cute.
PS. This is not originally my idea and belief. This is completely the stereotype of Cambodian toward half blood kids.
Translationកូនកាត់ខ្លះអត់ស្អាតទេ។ កូនកាត់ភាគច្រើនដែលស្អាតគឺកូនកាត់ដែលមានម្ដាយខ្មែរ និង ឪពុកបារាំង តែបើឪពុកខ្មែរម្ដាយបារាំងវិញកូនកាត់នោះមិនសូវស្អាតទេ។

In English,'cute' sometimes means ugly, but interesting.

Re: intermarriage Asian and White
Sometimes a woman will say that a man is a man is "cute" when she thinks he's not attractive because it is not insulting, but it is also not something most men want to be considered. Most men would prefer handsome or sexy or hot, but cute is something you call a child. So if a woman calls a man cute, he knows that she probably is not interested in him, but it is technically not an insult, so he hasn't lost face.Samouth wrote:I am not capable to understand that.StroppyChops wrote:In English,'cute' sometimes means ugly, but interesting.
