Re: Khmer language: beginners' questions

but "Naa Klah" again works as a plural context marker, eg. Sia Pov/Pow Naa La'or Merl - Which book is good to read? Sia Pov/Pow Naa Klah La'or Merl - Which books are good to read? Thanks everyone for helping out. In my dictionaries the word for reading is "an" but here another w...

Re: Khmer language: beginners' questions

Different types of noodles also have different words. Instant noodles are called mee. You can ask where you are buying the noodles, what they call them. I thought mi was egg noodles (yellow, made from wheat?) and instant noodles were mei? And the yellow "macaroni-like" were nuy? But I am ...

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: How much should I pay for a language tutor?

I am just surprised that with all of the expertise on this forum kps only had one direct answer of "how much would it cost". I know that further questions were asked, but links to teachers or schools would have been nice. Thanks for bringing it up. I think I will start a new thread if I a...

Re: How much should I pay for a language tutor?

Also interesting difference between Asia and f.ex Europe, at least China. Housekeeping said "ort somaat" and made it sound like a question because it was the only thing I could understand. To reply to a negative question, in Asia I believe you should nod your head and say Yes , don't clea...

Re: How much should I pay for a language tutor?

Thanks. Definitely useful for me. This is from a book that doesn't go into the details so much. That's why I mistakenly thought the "ban te" was a yes/no question. https://i.imgur.com/kAuNOrc.jpg Sorry for poor quality. Imgur doesn't approve of text scans, maybe?? Here is a better copy htt...

Re: How much should I pay for a language tutor?

Thanks a lot.
Knyom som chole bontoob tuk baan tei?
Can I enter the room?

Is "easy" since It is close to
Koat chole bontoob baan tei?
Does he enter the room or not?

But the tuk I do not understand. What does it mean?

Thanks a lot. I appreciate. Shopping now. I reply more later.
