its a pity we dont have audio clips on here
chhap is obvious - ឆាប់...but Chrawlaut ive tried looking for but cant find the khmer spelling to know the correct pronunciation
Chrawlaut is how I'd write it englishly, but yeah it's always hard to tell other people's versions of transliteration/pronunciation.
ឆាប់
to be quick, fast; prompt; early, short (of time).
ច្រឡោត
to be enraged, be angry to the point of wanting to commit violence
i couldnt find the chrawlaut because i was putting too many vowels on the first constonant, id spell it just Chralaot, but then again ive not heard it spoken ill ask a friend later

I heard that in Siem Reap, they use the word "S'doy" instead of "Sah-ey" meaning "What?".

Re: More Country Speak
Siem Reap have their unique way of speaking, so I wasn't surprised to hear some words that are pronounced in a very unique way.
sdoy would sound like this ស្ដយ
sah ey ke would be like this ស្អីគេ
here's another one country speak...."it's alright" - vea s'nom haey - វាស្នំហើយ
sdoy would sound like this ស្ដយ
sah ey ke would be like this ស្អីគេ

Re: More Country Speak
I'm not really sure ... some people use yang na? យ៉ាងណា instead of yang met យ៉ាងមេច
again maybe its regional accent, probably.
