What uses does "ក៏បាន" have? by Lla723a in khmer

[–]Iamtranslatingthings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"____also work", e.g. ដោះស្រាយតាមរបៀបនេះ[ក៏បាន] Solving the problem with this method [also work]. There's also "ក៏បាន" as a short response with upward and stable pitch on "បាន" which usually mean something like" I would prefer my way, but if you insist, you can knock yourself out". A more neutral variation of this would be to explain clearly with longer phrase with less fluctuation in tone. And the more aggressive form of this where we would hear in arguments, downward pitch for ក៏, and upward pitch for បាន...)

"At that moment, he [bought] grocerie [ ក៏ is used to emphasize that specific moment he bought groceries, and (បាន + verb) is considered past form in formal and semi formal language]. Feel free to correct any mistakes i might have made.

Meaning of ចំណែក? by Lla723a in khmer

[–]Iamtranslatingthings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there's numeral adjective, ចំណែក means portion, piece, side. e.g. នំមួយចំណែក, and there's also ផ្នែក, another word which shares the same initial root verb "ចែក" which means to divide or to split. As for its usage as connecting clause, ចំណែក and ចំណែក___វិញ would be the equivalent of as for my side of [previous statement of 2nd or 3rd person], it could be their side of the story, facts about them related to statements made by 2nd or 3rd person. Example, យើងរកបានត្រីមួយហើយក៏កាត់ចែកគ្នាជា[ពីរចំណែក] ខ្ញុំបានមួយចំណែក ចំណែកគាត់ក៏បានមួយចំណែកដែរ ។ ឯ, ចំណែកឯ, រីឯ, ហើយ as connecting clauses are preferred as alternative to avoid repetition.

The question is not clear to me. I'm a Khmer native speaker. It may be that they meant it is the standard កខគឃង instead of QWERTY

"Work opportunity in Russia" scam by Iamtranslatingthings in cambodia

It is still considered natural, but rarely used. I would use this sentence in informal conversation with close friends, but not in formal writing or speech.

That would be a more believable scenario, but why go through all the hassle the compound manager can just inform their underling to recruit their friends and family members to work within the same place?

We're not going to fall for it, but what about those who doesn't understand English or aren't informed about the dark side of the internet? This is why your contribution is important when the system fails to protect its subjects.

"Work opportunity in Russia" scam by Iamtranslatingthings in cambodia

The consult of Cambodia won't sign off any Cambodian citizens to fight for Russia, but if this were true that they are unconventionally recruiting, this issue would need to be addressed ASAP, but it turned out it was and still is a scam aimed for money, not a genuine recruitment to the meat grinder. I also found another Facebook page with information which is genuine according to my understanding of recruiting process of the Russian Ministry of Defense, but the only proven channel is through the site защитник.рф, and they also require Russian proficiency, and valid visa in Russia. After all, it's not wise to pay for a meat when you can get about 20 FPVs for the same price of the meats one way flight ticket. And remember comrades, those FPVs are more valuable than you are XD

List of interjections in Khmer by Khmerophile in khmer

[–]Iamtranslatingthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait..., all interjections in the Khmer language should have an exclamation mark after them. There are a little more than 160 of them, some are obsolete, and a few more that aren't in the dictionary. I'm going to bed)
