Ask Cambodians

no need, i know the words and how they are pronounced, i was asking you? as you say our pronunciations are different, im curious as to what you mean

If explorer can't hear the different sounds in your English J examples, I seriously doubt he'll be able to hear the nuisances in the khmer sounds as well.

OP is in over his his head plus he confuses treading water with swimming.

i love talking about it and hearing other peoples opinions

This is used to describe when a foreigner is charged a higher price than a Cambodian.

Taken advantage of, scammed etc.

Since writing this, I have learnt that gau can be used when anybody is charged a higher price than normal.

Yes, gau also has another meaning, that is to shave.

គ្នា knia has been mentioned in several other posts.

គ្នា knia means each other. In some cases it can mean with another person, or with other people.

(brushing up on what i mentioned earlier in the other thread) គ្នា / knea is one of those words that really needs to be joined with another word in order to give its true meaning, it is rarely used by its self, and so you cant give it a direct translation by its self,

ជាមួយគ្នា - Together
ជួបគ្នា - Meet up
ជួយគ្នា - Help each other
ដូចគ្នា - Alike/similar/same/also/likewise
ទាំងអស់គ្នា - All/All of (something)
អ្នកទាំងអស់គ្នា - Everyone
បែកគ្នា - to break up (a relationship)
ប៉ុនគ្នា - Same amount/size
វាយគ្នា - to have a fight

there are literally hundreds more, but as you can see, it really depends on what words are with Knea that gives its actual meaning, by its self it doesnt mean a lot

I may start another thread on this some time. Unless someone else wants to do it first.

Also can refer to a woman's coochie. Nom akow laung aht? Has the akow cake risen/swollen up? Double entendre for is the coochie swollen, i.e. ready to rock.
