Khmer Lesson 6- How are you? Yes, I'm fine

[clint4Now]

Good job on the lesson, i like all the pictures and diagrams you drew.

[wardrum80]

hey loak bong! the sign for female should be pointed down!

Great vids btw

[SadSushi]

@wardrum80 You're Right. Good catch. Thanks.

@Sad Sushi Could it be that Khmer had been tonal,or had some tonality at some point, or that some words were borrowed from a tonal language and of those, some lasted longer - long enough to retain their unusual spelling?

[iisslo]

merci pour cet video

[oakstrong1]

What is the + sign in the word yes (for female)?

Can you explain more about words that have that?

[oakstrong1]

What is the + sign above the first consonant in the word "jah" (yes for female)

[SadSushi]

@oakstrong1

I guess it has something to do with the tones. Khmer is not a tonal language though. I wonder why it's there myself.

[SabaiDeeKhonLao]

Thank you SadSushi, your videos are very helpful. I'm learning a lot.

Hi SadSushi,

Your teaching's specific objective is wonderful. Can you add a purpose as well. For example in this lesson, you can say. Knowing how to ask the question How Are you and answering it can help a learner carry on a polite conversation with a Khmer speaker of lesser or equal in age. You would not want a non-native to use what you teach to speak to an elder person, would you. That would be so rude considering you don't even put in the proper pronoun.

[SadSushi]

Hi KCAASE,

You have a good point, you can add the proper pronoun before asking a question in Khmer. In Lesson 3 I've added some pronouns but they are a bit too formal. I was planning to make a part 2 for more pronouns but never got a chance to do a lesson on it. I teach whatever I think is interesting. Sorry if I have disappointed you.

Excellent job, Sadsushi!!!. You are a good teacher. Please keep up good work.

[gamguy777]

my crazy khmer friend told me:

SUK sa bye day.

He insisted the first syllable is like the word SUCK.

But it is apparently SOK.

[MuayThai28002]

OMG! thanks for your video's i can speak half thai but im not fluent or new but im more into learning More Khmer and then Japanese

[vraiborde]

Thanks so much for this. I've found a number of khmer sites which have text written but very little spoken sounds. This is what I needed. Brilliant!

[SadSushi]

I'm glad you found what you need. Good luck in your studies =)

[catseyescori]

Thank you so much for this! One of my best friends is Khmer and he has always wanted me to learn the language and this has helped me learn a bit! Now I can go and surprise him the next time I talk to him!

[untarnishedsoul]

yup me too i'm trying to learn the knmer language really badly, and your instructions and repetitions are clear and precise<3

thanks for making the effort!

[AngeL027990]

oops... commented twice... heehee... my com had some problems... =x

[AngeL027990]

You are good! Your lessons are really easy to understand... I wanted to pick up some khmer for a trip down to cambodia but your lessons made me find the language fun! Great job!... =)

[SadSushi]

Thanks for your comment, I try to make my video at least 2 to 5 minutes long so it doesn't get boring. Enjoy your trip to Cambodia. I've never been there before. You're so lucky.

[AngeL027990]

You're welcome. I just came back. Cambodia is a nice place. Will let you know if i can make a video to let you see ya? =)

[SadSushi]

Awesome, Do you like cambodian food? Hmm, come to think of it. Maybe I should make a lesson on Cambodian food. Well, I let my friend borrowed my camera so I have to wait about a week to get it back. I don't understand what you mean here:

"Will let you know if I can make a video to let you see ya?"

Are you trying to say you want to show me what you look like? =/

[AngeL027990]

Cambodian food is not bad at all. By the way, what i meant was i'll let you know if i can make a video of the pictures i took in Cambodia to let you see =) i've got quite a number =)

[SadSushi]

Yeah, that would be great. Thanks ^_^

[SadSushi]

Awesome, Thanks.

[AngeL027990]

haha Cambodian food is nice =)

What i meant was, i'll let you know if i can make a video of the pictures i took in Cambodia =)

I have quite a number of pictures...

[YoungggBapesta]
