Khmer Lesson 10- I want to drink beer

I want to drink beer =) (Dtuhk grohj also means orange juice, but it is a general word for any type of soda. If you want to specify what type of soda you want you can say dtuk grohj Pepsi, dtuk grohj coco cola , dtuk grohj sprite etc. )

I also like what you are doing. Good job well done. Can I mention 2 things though. For people worldwide it would be best if you use international phonetics. By so doing you will enable us to read the phonetic sounds more accurately. Second, the word for "I" in phonetics, you spelled it correctly except for the place where you wrote the consonant NGYO.. You made an "h"instead of the NGYO sound. Otherwise, well done! Jim

@23634270jukacn , I'm not a linguist so that's why I don't use the international phonetics. I believe it's better to listen and then imitate than to rely on international phonetics or other phonetic schemes. Thanks for the suggestion though.

soda is called dtuk grohj soda. you should not said dtuk grohi or else it means orange juice. 4 Ex. Pepsi we said dtuk grohj Pepsi or coca cola( dtuk grohj coca)

You're right dtuk grohj does mean orange juice, but it is also a general word for anytype of soda. If you want to specify what type of soda you want you can say dtuk grohj Pepsi, dtuk grohj coco cola , dtuk grohj sprite etc.

What about soy milk, the kind you can buy in cans?

I guess it will be Dtuk-dawh-goh _ (milk soy?) or will it be Dtuhk groh _ (drink soy)?

[setunle]

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "soda". I've only come across that word in phrases like caustic soda or bicarbonate of soda which you take when you have an upset stomach. Never encountered it as a word for a t ype of drink.
