For example if I didn't hear or understand you sitting next to you at a bar I might say "huh?" between us, but I wouldn't say "huh?" to someone in a more respectful or formal setting. I think this is true for "ey ke". Once again though, probably good to double check.

naa thats how i have always known it as well, thats why i put the intentional double "??" after the "what" to give it more of a "huh??" reference to it hahaha but its always something i wanted to check as, as you also said, it can be difficult learning from friends sometimes as their interpretation into english could not be that accurate, so i like to cross reference all the time, many questions i ask i may already know answers to but its for more piece of mind, Samouth and little salary are great here for that

Can you write that in khmer? It's very difficult to pronounce transcribed khmer unless you already know the words/phrases.

Would it be something like "ស្រេចតែJamieឯង"?

Yea, I think we might have similar systems for learning Khmer Jamie. The same happens with me sometimes as people maybe not being 100 percent sure, and just saying yeah, that's right. Sometimes I'll give my best English translation and then think of something better later though to people learning English. I guess it goes both ways.

You are right on this Mr Yan. You should also know this, we consider it rude for younger people to say ey ke with old people.
