I’ve just spent ten minutes trying to comprehend how to say ‘My name is…’ in Khmer. Google translate isn’t great for this, the audio is virtually inaudible and I’m stuck . I can say hello.
Suostei. Hello
My name is chhmoh robsakhnhom ku Bird
Or I can point to my chest and say Bird. What else will I need for introductions?
What is your name?
tae anak mean chhmoh avei ?
Ok that’s not too bad, even if the cut and paste sends the text tiny!
Where is the slum ?
del chea kanleng kreik
Hmmm the audio doesn’t sound much like the words written in the English alphabet.
I may have to find a tech solution to this ! But I want to learn Cambodian , Khmer,
Thank you!
