So, if "Ahhh" is already derogatory, like in "Ahh mab" , is "Ahh K'mab" then an increase of contempt ?????

Ohh yes, that "K" in "K'mab", is it pronounced like a "K" like in "King" or more like a "G" like in "go" ?

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?

also is this the same Pluer as Pan Ron sings in the song Rom Min Ch'aet Te
"Jong tae rom rom rom rom tul pluer"

also what does Ch'aet mean?

Hehehe... as I told you i'm not good at wring. Maybe Pler means stupid, but in the song is another word.
Rom tul pluer means dance till sun rises.
Ch'aet means full.

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?

អាយុ ( n ) [ʔaayuʔ] - detail »
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.
