Singaporean Lover Seriouly Injured After Hacked by Husband

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

so srey sava means an un honest lady, a lady who lies?
Yes and she is also not loyal to her partner. She doesn't have commitment for long term relationship. I think the equivalent one is butterfly. Unlike slut who just sleep with another even without the involvement of emotional.
haha thanks Samouth, will take not of this, could come in handy :P haha :thumb:[/quote]

by the way the term can be used for both male and female.
it goes like this
1 Srey Sava
2 Pros Sava[/quote]

Yes, could be handy, but how insulting is it ? Does it have an automatic sexual connotation? Could be funny, but don't want to offend anyone by mistake.

Actually i don't think it doesn't have an automatic sexual connotation, it is more about her or his behavior. It just suggests that the person doesn't have commitment for long term relationship and want to be around with more people. It is quite offensive, so i don't recommend to use with someone you don't really know.

Nice. It is good that you didn't say it directly to someone.

This is where you have to be so careful using another language - especially making jokes. You have to judge how sensitive certain words can be. Calling someone a butterfly in English is not offensive. But then having many different partners is not considered offensive behaviour for a westerner. Do you think it would be more insulting for a woman than a man ?
As they say, you can joke about anything, just not with everyone.

Yes definitely it is more insulting for a woman than a man, because it khmer society woman is considered as white paper. More explanation here https://cambodiaexpatsonline.com/post917 ... ipe#p91707. Therefore, she has to be careful with what she does and how she behave. For a man, it is a not a big deal.

haha in england we call people a "Snake" rather than a "Butterfly" but has a similar meaning, i only learnt the term butterfly being here in asia, i actually met one girl once who said she wasnt a butterfly, but labeled herself as a "Helicopter" haha obviously one of Pontoons finest hahahaha

i think in english the common term for a "butterfly" would be "Tart" in a playful insulting term, oringinally an old english word meaning pretty woman, coming from the word Sweetheart shortened to Tart, but then went on to meaning a woman who is all Dolled up (make up) and is Promiscuous... http://www.thefreedictionary.com/promiscuous
or a "Slag" which is the same but said if intending to be a bit more insulting
