Hey little salary. Do you have any ideas?
The first one means "bald" and the second is ឯង.

Haha, I don't think I've ever been called "Ah Mackevili" but I've definitely been called "Ah Mop."AE86 wrote:My wife calls my little nephew "Ah Mop"
Is that the same "Ah" meaning in both?

Re: Have you ever been called Ah?
You know what according to our culture, when the woman calls man Ah it is not really serious. However if we are men calling them Me, it is really serious. We respect woman more than man. If you ever learn khmer language, you would hear a lot of words staring with Mea mean female. It has something to deal with our history back in the first century. At that time, our king was female. She was the first king of Cambodia.Ed Hammer wrote:I would call her 'ME' back. Me chhke...lolSamouth wrote:I was sitting in a bar then I heard a Khmer girl called an old barang man Ah. I didn't tell him what it is as I don't want him to feel upset. Then I thought about CEO members there must be some people who have been once or twice called Ah with their name.Advocatus Diaboli wrote:No idea.......you tell me
