Re: Elderly man admits offering children 5000r for sex.
Is there an equivalent word to "pedophile" in Khmer ?kiwiincambodia wrote:Why whenever a Khmer is caught with underage kids is the term ''pedophile'' never used but when its a barang its all they can mention?
After all, in English we are still borrowing from ancient Greek. Just a thought. Maybe it's a linguistic thing.
It should be clearer to those who can read Khmer. Do the Khmer press use a totally different word (for sexual offenses against children), or does it change in translation ?Etymology
From pedo- + -phile, after Ancient Greek παιδοφῐ́λης (paidophílēs) (from παῖς (paîs, “boy, child”) and φιλέω (philéō, “I love”)).

Google says ជនរំលោភកុមារ, so along the lines of "person that violates children" from my bad Khmer.Anchor Moy wrote:Is there an equivalent word to "pedophile" in Khmer ?kiwiincambodia wrote:Why whenever a Khmer is caught with underage kids is the term ''pedophile'' never used but when its a barang its all they can mention?

Regardless, the absence or existence of words in Khmer shouldn't prevent newspaper editors from using the English word when required.
