Re: Khmer language: beginners' questions
Hi, I hope it is OK to start a topic where I and other beginning learners of Khmer can ask questions. Like: At the noodle shop, how do you say "dine in/take away"? I invented "nyam tini/yok tng" but how do you really say it? One guy taught me "cheroo tng" for take away...

Re: Learn Khmer with a Native Khmer for Free!
