Knyom som chole bontoob tuk baan tei?
Can I enter the room?
Is "easy" since It is close to
Koat chole bontoob baan tei?
Does he enter the room or not?
But the tuk I do not understand. What does it mean?
Thanks a lot. I appreciate. Shopping now. I reply more later.
[Baan tei] is different from just [tei].
[statement] + [baan tei]
to ask for permission.
Could I please use your motorbike [baan tei]?
Could he please use the bathroom [baan tei]?
[statement] + [tei]
to ask a yes-no question
You go shopping now [tei]?
He is in the bathroom now [tei]?
You like a glass of water [tei]?
On a sidenote: I write 'tuk' for water where Explorer uses 'dtuk'. Bontoop (d)tuk means bathroom.

Some people use spelling which originated with the French and use ch for the j sound. You need to pronounce it j.
I am get the impression some people pronounce it ch, and speak Khmer badly.

It's common to convert the ច to ch. At least that's what I learned, and how Google does it.

Re: How much should I pay for a language tutor?
It's fine Explorer, keep dreaming about the 'French spelling' and your conversions. Feel free to use your own conversions.explorer wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2019 5:12 pmAs I said, many people use the French spelling.

Re: How much should I pay for a language tutor?
What you are saying is not technically correct. You could say any of the following:
សូម ចូល បន្ទប់ ទឹក
ឱ្យ ខ្ញុំ ចូល បន្ទប់ ទឹក ទេ
ឱ្យ ខ្ញុំ ចូល បន្ទប់ ទឹក បាន ទេ
You could include more words at the beginning to make it a longer sentence.
## I thought I knew all the answers, but they changed all the questions. ##
Re: How much should I pay for a language tutor?
Yes, you could say all, and all have a different meaning.
សូម ចូល បន្ទប់ ទឹក
saum chaul bantob tuk
Please enter the bathroom
ឱ្យ ខ្ញុំ ចូល បន្ទប់ ទឹក ទេ
aoy khnhom chaul bantob tuk tei
Can I enter the bathroom? (yes no question)
ឱ្យ ខ្ញុំ ចូល បន្ទប់ ទឹក បាន ទេ
aoy khnhom chaul bantob tuk baan tei
Can I enter the bathroom? (formally asking permission)
Re: How much should I pay for a language tutor?
Thanks. Definitely useful for me. This is from a book that doesn't go into the details so much. That's why I mistakenly thought the "ban te" was a yes/no question.

Sorry for poor quality. Imgur doesn't approve of text scans, maybe??
Here is a better copy

I will stick to the simplest forms and try to cover up "rude" grammar with polite attitude. Sometimes I even add "please" in English to show politeness and that mistakes are expected at my level. To get through to housekeeping I finally had to use "ort somaat" which they repeated and smiled.
"bantoub tuk" I should have understood. Explorer also explained it but I was on the move and just read quickly. Probably a better word. I had some problems yesterday with the. "tae bangkun nuv aenae".
Thanks, very useful. I will probably come up with more questions.

Re: How much should I pay for a language tutor?
In those books the spelling is quite different from how it is pronounced. It will be good when you have a Cambodian to tell you the pronunciation.
I would say: tdaa bongoon noe anaa
Which could be translated as: is toilet at where
It is probably more polite to say bathroom, but it is not really important. It is good to know both. I needed to use the bathroom at one place, and asked permission. They had one room with a shower and another room with a toilet. They asked me which one.
