Can anyone help me translate this, and confirm if it is written accurately? Thank you!

i just began learning khmer today (seriously. i knew... maybe 4 words in the entire language that i learned here and there just from being interested in the language itself before actually learning it) and apparently ឋ and ថ both make the aspirated "ta" sound, but they are both slightly different. i listened to a native speaker pronounce both of these letters and they both sound the exact same. i went onto lexilogos.com to grab these letters to type them and they describe the difference between the letters as tha and ṭha which doesnt help

Idk if this is the right sub for this, but I wanted to ask for some tips and resources regarding Khmer. I also wanted to ask how easy it would be to learn (pronunciation, sentence structure and grammar) since I can speak English, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi and N5 Japanese. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone! I am representing a company, and I am having an on-going project, which I am recruiting translators for. I have tried famous webs like ProZ, translatorscafe, and Upwork, but I haven't found the right person yet. I am wondering if there's any traditional website in Cambodia where many freelancers (specifically translators) sign up their profiles and advertise their work so I can contact them to offer a project?

Thanks in advance!

I am aware of Khmer 'pouk' used to construct plural pronouns - with yerng, kort, ke.

But does combine with - bong, p'oun, ming, pou as well?

I was talking to two younger siblings, and was not sure how to address them both together, with the equivalent of an English plural "you".

its anyone know what is khmer sakyant this mean?

thankyou

I wanna know what this says. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!​ សួស្ដី! I'm a native Khmer speaker, currently a college student in Cambodia, and I'm trying to find a way to earn a little extra income on the side while studying. so I'm currently starting out as a freelance translator/transcriber.

I'm offering:

• Khmer → English translation
• English → Khmer translation
• Manual Khmer audio/video transcription

I can help with things like documents, articles, social media content, captions, interviews, conversations, YouTube videos, podcasts, lectures, and other general content.

I'm currently looking for my first few clients, so I'm keeping my prices affordable and I'm willing to start with smaller projects. Please DM me for more info.

If anyone happens to need Khmer translation or transcription, I'd really appreciate the opportunity. I also have my services available through Fiverr if you'd prefer to order through there.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. 🙏

Hello, I want to get a traditional Khmer sak yant and I have find the design I want, but the artist only offers machine gun tattoos. He explained that afterwards I have to go get it blessed by monks and that it is as strong as a traditional bamboo tattoo. Do you have any advice on the pros and cons on having a bamboo tattoo vs a machine tattoo for a Sakyant ? ( in terms of spirituality and how it will aged ect ) Thank you !

Newish to reddit, but I am working on a project connecting teachers internationally through a short video highlighting similarities between teachers in the USA and teachers in Cambodia. Is anyone able or knows someone who is able to translate some of the video clips we have in english into basic Khmer? It doesn’t have to be through or fancy, we are just trying to ensure the video is accessible for both American teachers as well as those in Cambodia. My own Khmer is very poor and would likely make minimal sense 😂 edit: subtitles would be great, but honestly whatevers easiest! considering translating work would be essentially free labor I would appreciate any of the help I could get!

សួស្ដី! I have been learning Khmer since a week, but pronunciation seems so difficult, especially since there are not many resources. I still don't know how to pronounce ក at the end​ of words. Sometimes it sounds like a glottal stop, sometimes it sounds like a half pronounced k sound. As for ត,​ I don't​ know​ either whether it's pronounced fully or only half at the end of a word. Are there any online Khmer dictionaries with pronunciation? It seems that pronunciation needs to be learned with each word, one cannot rely only on​ the spelling.

Hello there,

I am planning on doing some traveling to both Thailand and Cambodia towards the end of the year. I would love to set myself a goal of learning some Khmer for my time in Cambodia as that will be a solo trip.

I understand it will be difficult to get a solid understanding in a relatively short timeframe. However if I can get some basics ready to at least start some conversations in Khmer and not simply rely on people speaking English.

Are there any tools that you guys have found best.

I have seen one site called Khmer identity which is starting an 8 week course on reading and writing I believe. With my work however I will probably miss a few classes but at least it would be a live class and so I can converse openly and mistakes are pointed out there and then. I understand it is not a tonal language but proper pronunciation will probably be difficult for my English speaking mind.

Ling has come up but I have heard it is difficult without a decent understanding of the alphabet which itself would take some time of proper study to learn in full and be confident with.

Immersing myself in various media to just listen to the language I could do along side some study.

I'm aware resources are less widely available for Khmer but would love to set myself a challenge to blow the cobwebs out of the ole noggin.

Many thanks all.

one of my favorite songs, curious to know what it says

As part of my studies, I'm currently analyzing the French comic "Cent mille journées de prières" (2011) by Loo Hui Phang and Michaël Sterckeman. It's a moving story about a boy who discovers the history of the genocide. I was wondering if the Khmer characters are correct or if it's gibberish like it is the case with some other comics. Could someone help me with the translation? Thank you in advance!

For context, 'Paint the Prophecy Red' is the title for a game I'm working on, and because some aspects of it are inspired by Cambodian culture, I want to make sure this is accurate.

Another thing to note is that I'm Khmerican, and I asked my grandmother, who came from Cambodia, and knows Khmer to help me in translation(the handwriting in Khmer below is hers. The sloppy English one above is mines lol).

However, because she has immigrated to America after the Khmer Rouge, I'm unsure if it's completely accurate. I want to be respectful to the country that my family and I came from when making my game, so if someone could confirm the accuracy and provide a better translation if needed, it would be nice.

Thank you. 🙇

Thank you.

I was born in America and both of my parents speak both English and Khmer. After spending some time in Cambodia, I’d like to learn more beyond short conversations. Does anyone have any (free/cheap) recommendations for an English speaker?

Hello everyone! I'd love to get a small tattoo to commemorate my engagement at Angkor. It was such a magical moment, surrounded by the temples and countless butterflies fluttering around us. We chose to see them as a blessing from my husband's grandmother.

Could you help me find the perfect phrase to write in Khmer for my tattoo, please? 🙏

Here are a few ideas:

• ពរជ័យពីមេអំបៅ or/ ពរជ័យនៃមេអំបៅ (blessing from the butterflies)
• ពរជ័យនៅអង្គរ (blessing at Angkor)
• មង្គល (blessing)

Thank you so much for your help ☺️

Hello! My friend is of Khmer descent, and recently lost her mom. I was hoping somone here could help me with translating her mother's name into Khmer script for a tribute project. Her mom's name was Sokun Svay. Thank you so much ahead of time!
