Your speaking khmer attempts

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

Aing mean , you yourself... Depend on the context.
Eg: Jamie: where will we go?
Samouth: srej tei Jamie aing ! ( it's up to you)

nice thanks,

is the aing to do with addressing someone older?
No, for younger or close friends.
I think aing also mean yourself. For example, klun aing: yourself.
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.

Yes, aing here means you ( name+ aing, the one we talk to) or means yourself.

also must "Srej Tei [Name] Aing" must be used with a name or would "Srej Tei Aing" be sufficient? or maybe "Srej Tei Oun/Bong Aing" ??

Yes it is good to put the name. For example the girl you are hanging out named Bopha.

Bopha: Bong Jamie tov na yub nis?

Jamie: Srej tei bopha aing or srej tei Klun aing ( this one is really cool to say and make you feel close with each other) the detail will be in the sound clip. I will have a thread about meaning of Cambodian name. Only girl name will be allowed to post on that thread lol

ok cool, "yub nis" what this part mean? i dont have these words in my notes, i know "tov" = go & "na" = where... so i know you are basically saying "jamie where you want to go?" but i dont have the yub nis in my notes/dictionary, could you explain these words please (as i have seen these words before, so now a good time to ask)

also the word Klun, i am interested in this word :P
