hi, thank you for your lessons, they are great ! can you teach me how to pronounce busy in khmer ? I found this word really hard to pronouce correctly. It sound something like jobshrowerl ?

Hello, lok is little different than your explanation; you got the gender right, though. Anyway, Lok is Sir; lok srey is Ms or Madam.

It appears that Khmer pronouns are without cases (such as the English nominative and objective case pronouns). Is that right?

This one is: gay lol....
"gort" is used to refer to an older person or someone of authorative figure that may require respect, say, your boss. "wia" is "he/she/they/it" of equal or younger in age.

Yeah you're right! Using "wia" to someone equal or younger in age is alright but when addressing an older person it is really rude and should not be used.

"gay" is inclusively anyone other than the speaker in the third person. it is neither plural, nor is it singular. it doesn't necessarily mean "they" per se.

that's also true

"lohk srey" is more like "Mrs."(the reason why you would probably get punched in the mouth if you address with this!!) "neahk" is a the general word meaning "you". This word is genderless (as oppose to "lohk" which is exclusive used to address a male). "neahk" is quite formal and infrequently used. also, it is never used to address people you know e.g. family members, close friends, etc.
