Re: used idiom
Thanks for the input guys. I had always used joju so I was a bit lost.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

ម៉ាទឹក/Ma-toek/= មួយទឹក /muoy toek/= ជជុះ /Chou chuh/--> second-hand (not brand new)taabarang wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 5:45 pm I was talking with my wife and her niece this morning when that young relative excitedly informed us she had just bought "turasapdai kalip muy, tai thauk min.." (a quality mobi, but very cheap.)
Since I'm looking for a new phone I pressed her for more details. She said it was a good price because it was " m'teuk"; now of course I know the usual meaning of " teuk" but I'd never heard it used in that context. It turns out that it means used just like " joju" except it only used with mechanical objects. Please note that this is
spoken only. Joju is used for clothes for example.
