Have you ever been called "Ah" in Khmer?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Have you ever been called "Ah" in Khmer?

Post by Samouth »

I guess some people here might know it, but some might not.

How many times you have been called Ah and then your name.

For example, Ah Johnny, Ah Dan, Ah Steven
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.

That when people asked you to do something or asking something from you. I am not really sure how to explain it.

No, I'm usually called "at ting ow" or "aigne". I haven't been called "ah" since I was a kid.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
