Re: Have you ever been called
also is this the same Pluer as Pan Ron sings in the song Rom Min Ch'aet Teprahkeitouj wrote: Btw I might write it wrong. Pluer, I mean stupid or silly.
"Jong tae rom rom rom rom tul pluer"
also what does Ch'aet mean?

Re: Have you ever been called
Great thread everyone. Learnt stuff today.
Thanks for moving it to the cambodian language thread too. It will be easier to find again and go through it a bit more slowly.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Do it mate. I didn't expect that this thread could turn out this great. By the way UT has introduced a great online dictionary. It might be hard for you to search as you have to write the word you want to know in khmer script.Jamie_Lambo wrote:yes she does a great job, i think she deserves a little karma from me as thanksSamouth wrote:Wow guy, i think i just spent like one hour to read the whole thing. one thing i can guarantee is that little salary is the best khmer teacher.

Re: Have you ever been called
yeah the reason why ive started to create my own dictionary is because all the khmer>english/Engish>khmer dictionaries only work with khmer script, and there isnt a romany english one, so ive made my own personal one which now has between 150-200 words in it that ive learnt, most words i know already in my head but when theres a word i cant quite remember its a quick reference tool to remind me as i keep it all in alphabetical orderSamouth wrote:Do it mate.

Re: Have you ever been called
The way I have always understood, the use of "Ah" before a name is pejorative, unless it's just said in a humorous way to young kids ( ex: Ah Swet) or among close friends. The prefix can mean "contemptible", for example when people talk about "Ah Pot."
I don't know how to Romanize that phrase I've heard a thousand times as an insult to bald people, but it sounds like "Ort Ting Ow'" or something.

Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Have you ever been called
So am I to understand that if someone says ah Bhodi that I'm being told to go fuck myself or that I'm a motherfucker I am trying to learn Khmer.

and also im sure "Jum murii/mori/meri??" (poor spelling i know) translated to motherfucker??
I think that's the same phrase I know, which seems to be so offensive that I usually get a laugh, then a serious face, asking, "who teach you that? It no good!"
So I never say that one where others can hear, only when I get going back and forth with someone who is trying to see what bad Khmer words I know.
I would have said it sounds something like:
Cone-mrai-chaka-choi
My fav phrase is: It's your Karma (Kum -robot neer) Samouth can you help with the spelling?
General Mackevili: I just don't want you littering our forum with your drivel.
