Khmer Lesson 17- You are so pretty.

(This is a video request.)
Oops I made some careless mistakes. I forgot to put the "N" for "ohn" on the "you are so skinny" Sheet and also forgot to put srah "oh" under "aw" for Ohn. Sorry folks.

DISCLAIMER: I don't recommend telling a girl she is fat or skinny. Well maybe she might take being skinny a compliment. Anyways, I only added those two new vocabularies for educational purposes. Enjoy =)

really good vids! i just have a question if you can use other forms of you like can you use neah sah-at mah-leh??

[SadSushi]

@guitarkid818 , yes you can say that.

[MarcellusTheGreen]

Is there an "official" method or system for Romanizing (putting into English letters) the words/sounds of the Khmer language? (Such as pin-yin for Chinese ... and I understand that there is NO official system for Romanizing the Korean language sounds.)

[SadSushi]

@MarcellusTheGreen

There is no official method of Romanizing the Khmer language. They have different scheme. It's more important to listen to the sound than to depend on the romanization. Romanization is just a crutch.

i feel like that ios more like a question. but good job, keep up the good work

[SadSushi]

@Kimmy1, yeah you're right. I agree.

[ruby2241985]

You are saying, "Why are you so pretty?" But awesome, Keep up the good work =)

[ElegantSun]

How do I say "Perfect" & "Amazing"

could you please type it how it is pronouned

[criskity]

"mleh" means "so" (an intensifier)... wonder if there's some ancient connection to the Atayalic (Formosan Austronesian) "bale"/"balay" (very).

[Luv4Humanity]

i dont understand why you would use "ohn" and not something else?

[wardrum80]

ohn thort mah-leh...pen-teai sah-aht mein-tein!  lol!

[smd25x]

Yeah I agree with kimmy1 it should be mein-tein. (bad spelling)
