Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Name dropped in the same post as Elisse. I'm famous. Gonna start vlogging now.

True story.
the extra emphasis on the Chh consonant makes it sound long, like in the word Chhmoah(name) or Chhnea(win), due to the dash above the 'P' sound it makes the connecting 'O' in Chhop shorter,
i had guessed her spelling of "Chope" was probably due to accent as i just saw it as rhyming with "Hope"

For me, I would have spelled chhmoah (name) --with my accent--ch'muah. I know how to say all of these words; spelling them phonetically is not my forte'.

Re: Short Story
'Chhmuah' is probably (depending on accent) a more correct way or writing it, i just have a bad habit of writing Khmer phonetically the same as the Khmers,Cinnamoncat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 2:39 pmAccent influences spelling, yes.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 2:33 pmi was mainly replying to her comment about it being a long vowel sound, when its actually the opposite,violet wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 2:13 pmAmerican accent.

tbh i did try changing it a bit to a more 'barang' way as the Khmers actually spell the words as 'Chhmoas' and 'Chhnes'
Khmers write an 'S' for a final 'H' sound - there is no final 'S' sound in Khmer,
so when the 'S' ស consonant is at the end of the word it is pronounced as a 'H' , the ះ Vowel which also has a H sound and is the final vowel in the 2 above words, both words also end in a 'H' sound, so instinctively they also spell the words with a S instead of a H, they probably do this so it doesnt get confused with the actual 'H' consonant, because even in words like បេះដូង where the vowel is mid word, they write it as 'Besdong' instead of 'Behdoung' how its pronounced
