Yeah, the joys of the internet - now it's out there forever.Samouth wrote:I am not. I was into face saving, I would have erased my post.Anchor Moy wrote:Now now, I thought you weren't into "face".Samouth wrote:i do know the word connotation. so ashamed.Anchor Moy wrote:LOL. Sorry Samouth, but your mistake is really funny. Never mind.
Innuendo has to do with word patterns Samouth, and the two words together "exposing yourself" has sexual connotations for westerners.
(If you don't know what connotation means then look it up; it's an important part of translation.)
Anyway, I guess you won't "expose yourself" like that again ?
(Ok, this time it's a play on words and "expose yourself" means put yourself in an embarassing situation.)
Live and learn.
Mistakes are just learning situations.

Re: The goal of Cambodian conversation
i wouldnt say exposing yourself would be to "put yourself in an embarrassing situation" id say "exposing yourself" would mean more of putting yourself in a "vulnerable situation" when exposing ones self you are revealing yourself, this could be anything, say in war, if you reveal yourself you then put yourself in a vulnerable situation for attack, when exposing yourself emotionally, you put yourself in a vulnerable situation for heartache, and there is also the exposing yourself sexually... please dont do it to young cambodians hahahaha

បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
