Re: Have you ever been called
I'm not sure if it's like K or G because K'mab is the short sonud which from the word Ka Mab. Maybe K?Advocatus Diaboli wrote:So, if "Ahhh" is already derogatory, like in "Ahh mab" , is "Ahh K'mab" then an increase of contempt ?????prahkeitouj wrote:
Example: Ah mab( fatty), But if we say Ah K'mab mean too fat. (Insult)
Ohh yes, that "K" in "K'mab", is it pronounced like a "K" like in "King" or more like a "G" like in "go" ?

Re: Have you ever been called
Hehehe... as I told you i'm not good at wring. Maybe Pler means stupid, but in the song is another word.Jamie_Lambo wrote:also is this the same Pluer as Pan Ron sings in the song Rom Min Ch'aet Teprahkeitouj wrote: Btw I might write it wrong. Pluer, I mean stupid or silly.
"Jong tae rom rom rom rom tul pluer"
also what does Ch'aet mean?
Rom tul pluer means dance till sun rises.
Ch'aet means full.

Re: Have you ever been called

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.

Re: Have you ever been called
my khmer friend a few months ago was teaching me the word for Age.. but want to double check...
what he was saying sounded something like "Ahjuk"..
"Ahjuk bpon man te?" - Age how much/how old are you?
is this right?

age; life.

I would write Aayuk.
The formal one. Ter nak mean aayuk pun man hery?
The informal one, everyday use, bong or paoun aayuk pun man ? or aayuk pun man?
You can not use te in this interrogative sentence. It doesn't make sense at all.
