Thanks for nice video. It really touched my heart to hear "Invite street kids a meal in the restaurant". I have been in Cambodia many times but havent done it.
I love the Cambodian people!! Currently, I am giving a scholarship to a Cambodian Primary School teacher - not through a charity, but by giving the money directly to her and staying in touch by Skype - to fund her to go to University for the next 4 years. It was her dream to go to University. I am so happy that her dream is now coming true.
@91393167 Can (have not) jub (meet) knea (each other) yu ( a long time) hai: is just an ending word...no specific meaning. I guess it can also mean 'already' Thank you for treating the orphans with a special treat like that. I used to be an orphan so I know exactly what it was like.
Hey! Im designing shirts to to raise money for a cambodia mission trip! What is the proper way to say 'Pressing In' the whole slogan is 'Pressing In Because People Matter' could you possibly help me with that? Thank you so much- your teachings are well prestented and easy to follow!
The stuff you mention about 5 minutes in, about inviting kids to a restaurant, this is ONLY for women. A male could get suspected of something very bad, and the repercussions could be serious.
Yes, I agree. Those are personal ways to address people. For non-native speakers, Own and Borng are commonly used when: 1 If you are related. It's almost mandatory to call your older siblings borng X, ex. borng Cathy but they don't necessarily have to call you own. That's optional because they're the boss. lol. Kidding. 2 Between couples. 3 When used by random strangers...they are kissing up or have an annoying habit. Like people who go around calling folks "baby" or "sweetheart." Smack!
Hey. I don not agree with some parts of what you said about Cambodian children: Of course they would seem to be 'happy' if you give them food, invite them for a meal in a restaurant or even buy their books. But in my point of view the street is not the place to be for children. There are so many NGO's in Cambodia (especially in the major cities) that try to help children and get them off the streets, which turns out to be really difficult because there is so much to earn on the street.(tourists)
I wish I could go there to teach English, but I have a disability, now I do get around extremely well and need no help, but I don't know how I would be accepted. But I am sure Cambodians are extremely kind people.
Thank you soooo much!!! I am going over to teach at Ang Prachum, which is 80k east of Phnom Penh, roughly. I know my numbers and some phrases and cannot thank you enough. Very helpful tutorials!!
Hello, I am a nurse and i have a cambodian patient who doesn't speak English. How do you say "please take your medicine" , "it's good for you". Thanks for your help
The fact is that many Cambodian children in the city work selling postcards half the day and go to school the other half of the day. Some of them are quite bright.
I recently met a very nice Cambodian family here in the Coachella Valley, CA and their language they were speaking fascinated me, so your videos with Khmer phrases are very interesting and helpful. If I may ask, where do you go to school?, my daughter is at UCLA. Thae kloun pong na! Hope I got that right....
I heartily endorse the idea of inviting a Khmer child or two to eat with you at your restaurant, especially in places where there are not too many children (like the Riverside), and then you attract too much attention. Much better than passing on money, which may be used for wrong purposes. I once invited 3 children: the pleasure was almost entirely mine. I don't judge, because I, too, was once, occasionally, a poor and hungry child in the Third World (though not by any means as poor and hungry as these).
Thank you for the videos! Could you do a video (or leave a comment) about how to answer these questions? For example, how to say, "I'm hungry/I'm not hungry," "I would like to eat/I don't want to eat," etc. That would be so helpful!
Sour Sdey! I'm so happy I found you. You are helping me so much. there's a really nice lady who works next to me from cambodia. she speaks engish very well but I hope to impress her by learning some basic khmer. You are a Great teacher. Question: how do I say "I'm hungry" is it just 'klean by'?
thank you very much for sharing us your language and actually teaching us something that's useful. Your videos are so much better than those so many apps avail online. Keep it up,
Hi CV, I just want to ask you about the very difficult topic of the Cambodian street kids that you talked about at the end. My whole heart wants to buy food for all of them, but they say not to buy from them or reward them (like buying them food) because it keeps them on the street away from school. What do you think, CV? Is this right? Please let me know what you think about feeding the kids (which I really would like to do!!) versus them going to school. Aw koon CV!!
Indeed it is a difficult topic, Jim. As a Cambodian watching Cambodian children living/working on the streets I don't always know what the right thing to do to help them. I can only imagine how much more difficult it is for foreigners because sometimes when a foreigner do something kind to street children, it could be misunderstood that the foreigner was having an underlying ill intention to take advantage of the street kids (unfortunately some bad foreigners do this...) Every situation and encounter is different. I don't always buy stuff from them only once or twice I think when I see something that I think can be used to gift others. I had invited them to dine with me at the table in public because at that moment it was something my heart told me to do. I grew up in Cambodia poor and I was always hunger and so I had compassion on these children. Feeding them on the spot in a way better than giving them money because we know that their belly is full and they are happy. But with money, we don't always know what they do with them. Many Cambodian children go to school half days. Meaning if they go to school in the morning (7am-11am) they work after school. If they go to school in the afternoon (1pm-5pm) they work before or after school. I don't think children should work other than some light chores around the house. Some children are not fortunate enough to attend school at all. So to answer your question, I would say follow your heart. Use your judgement. I think it is safe to do acts of kindness in public and if possible involve a Khmer adult like a translator or an NGO person.
@@cvjarot Hi CV, Thank you so much for replying to my comment, CV. I am really honoured that you would reply! You get thousands of people leaving comments. How could I be so lucky?!! Aw Koon jrahn!! As you might know from my other reply (thank you so much for replying to that too!!), I have two big projects in Cambodia. The first is to support a lovely, lovely Primary School teacher by putting her through University. It is very expensive for me but I am getting such a satisfying reward by helping those who are less fortunate. I have bought her everything she needs including a mobile phone, laptop and motorbike and pay her University fees, books, unlimited data for her phone and computer and a full salary so that she can concentrate on her studies and not worry about having to work. I am not rich though. I have not had much money my whole life. I have struggled... but this lovely Cambodian teacher is so special (she is very, very kind and caring) that I want to give her a big gift to change her life for the better. Her name is Sreymach and she had a terrible and very poor childhood. Sreymach was starving when she was young, her dad left her at 5 years old and she had to work (doing laundry) to pay herself through primary school and help her family! She said it was "hell" and that she wanted to die! Fancy that... a little kid wanting to die! But she made it and now, this lovely lady finds it in her heart to help the poor children in her school (buying them things) now that she is an adult and earning a small wage. Sreymach is on a low salary, yet she spends her hard-earned money on other people's children to buy them essential items for school - like shoes, books and schoolbags and clothes. She told me that she "feels for them" so much because she used to be one of them. But she believed that through education, she would have a better life. That is the thought that kept her going. So, now I am sending her extra money so that together we can help poor children - we work as a team - I provide the money, she does the shopping and delivers it to the children. Her family doesn't lose any money this way (which they did before when she was doing it herself). Not so long ago, we helped 37 needy children. It was an amazing experience for me! Helping the poor children has touched my heart forever! It is money so well spent! It means something to someone in need! Anyway, I am trying to learn Khmer so that I can be more effective. Your videos are so helpful and so inspiring. You are such a wonderful, kind teacher, CV!! You speak so clearly, slowly and patiently! I am learning so much from you! You are so charming - you have a very beautiful, kind heart! You are so clever, intelligent and articulate, too. I am sure you already know that! I am also sure you have worked very, very hard to get so good at English! And you are teaching your viewers so much more than how to speak Khmer! Thank you! Aw koon nyek gruu CV! With kindness and appreciation, Jim
@stardust381 Yea I'm glad you desire to learn Khmer! Keep it up. I know it's crucial for a Cambodian to know Khmer especially when we go to Cambodia, people expect us to speak and understand Khmer. The Cambodian people can be rude by making fun of those Cambodian who can't speak Khmer well. But for me I try to keep this language because I love the language and I can use it to communicate with my love ones there.
Sok. s-baay dte, you are really a good teacher. I'm going to be a volunteer in your country soon later and trying to learn your language. You help me a lot. Really thanks.
@Midibidi Haha you're very welcome! I'm glad you like the idea and willing to pick up the challenge. Ah Cambodia next month... you're lucky cause the weather there is so nice. Enjoy your trip
thank you so much for the amazing tip on how to brighten the day of those children! I will do this for sure should I see some when I go to Cambodia next month. Appreciate your work on the videos :) aw kun!

Have you ever experienced the feeling of not knowing how to help them? Well, she makes an astute observation in that regard.

gee I hate that they limit our comments to so few charters, any way she ,k new the capitol of every state in the USA way more than American children way ahead of her so its good to play these games to help there education but very careful they can break you if you give them a dollar for every right answer lol but seriously, this is a good way to help them, and they wont have to cary so many books postcards or artwork oh and buy some cool rosewood handmade traditional instruments to bring home
Hi when In waS IN Cambodia I read not to buy from the children, because it keeps them out of school however I noticed that they were very smart they can learn many languages, I was at Angkor Wat treating my tuk tuk driver to lunch and I told a little girl to go to school, she said if I can tell you the capitol of your country will you buy? Realizing that she would know the answer already and wanting to show her that she can earn money for being smart I said if you can tell me the Capitol of
Thank you for your very instructive Khmer language lessons and advice on living in Cambodia. I am teaching in Battambang and love living here. I speak Thai and Lao but find Khmer much easier to learn. Keep up the good work, God bless you Own.
Great videos! Thank you so much! Has been difficult finding pronunciation and quality video. Really appreciate it and best part was the end of this video! Giving a little goes a long way! Thanks again!
Suosdey Borng ! Sok s-bay tè ? I'm learning khmer and i have question ? if you want to ask : what do you want to eat, can you say : niam ey kè ? and what mean the work nas as in h-ng-a-nh nas. And finally can you say tov na ? to ask where are we or you going ? Awkun if you can answer to my questions !! :)
Good questions... "Niam ey ke?" means 'what are you eating?'. It can be used to mean 'what do you want to eat?' also but the more correct way to say is "chung niam ey ke?" because the word "chung" means want. "Nas" means 'very'. So "hnganh nas" means 'very delicious'. "Tov na" is a correct way to ask 'where are you going?'
+cvbienert I always find "ey ke" to sound rude. I don't like to hear it, and I don't use it. Some people just use "Ey ke?" when they want you to repeat something you said. What do you think? You're the expert!
Noko 5 "oun" in general meaning to call younger people including boy or girl, and other words Oun Euy, that's correct one, you can call your honey and girlfriend.
Thanks for nice video. It really touched my heart to hear "Invite street kids a meal in the restaurant". I have been in Cambodia many times but havent done it.

So, when addressing a younger person, is OWN just a shortened colloquial version of PUH-OWN? or do those two words have different meanings?

Good questions...
"Niam ey ke?" means 'what are you eating?'. It can be used to mean 'what do you want to eat?' also but the more correct way to say is "chung niam ey ke?" because the word "chung" means want.
"Nas" means 'very'. So "hnganh nas" means 'very delicious'.
"Tov na" is a correct way to ask 'where are you going?'
Ok thank you very much for your answer it helps me à lot ! And your vidéos are very helpful to learn khmer ! :) ankun borng !
+cvbienert I always find "ey ke" to sound rude. I don't like to hear it, and I don't use it. Some people just use "Ey ke?" when they want you to repeat something you said. What do you think? You're the expert!

Very Sweet!
I call my girl oun even though she's older than.
But if you want to say Oun to your girl say. Oun Euy (The one you love)
Noko 5 "oun" in general meaning to call younger people including boy or girl, and other words Oun Euy, that's correct one, you can call your honey and girlfriend.
cutest :)
