Khmer is the official language of Cambodia and is the most widely spoken language across the country. Therefore, it is wise to learn some basic words before you travel there.<\/p>\n

Although English is now being spoken more widely across the country, learning the Cambodian language is still important, especially if you are travelling to rural parts of the country where English is not spoken as much.<\/p>\n

Even with a small Khmer vocabulary you will be liked by many in Cambodia, as the locals you meet during your escorted tour of Cambodia<\/a> see it as you trying to be polite. They will enthusiastically help improve your pronunciation and teach you a few more words to reward your efforts.<\/p>\n

To help you ahead of your holiday to Cambodia, we have had some help from experts regarding some basic words that you can easily learn from the Khmer language that will help you during your travels.<\/p>\n

Greetings and short answers<\/h2>\n

Khmer Language Classes for Foreigners recommends learning the following greetings and short answers before your trip to Cambodia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Common questions and situations<\/h2>\n

We have all been there where we want to ask a question, but don\u2019t know how to say it in that particular language. Here Khmer Language Classes for Foreigners translate a few commonly asked questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Nih cea ey?<\/td>\n(\u1793\u17c1\u17c7\u1787\u17b6\u17a2\u17b8?)<\/td>\nWhat\u2019s this?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Food<\/h2>\n

Rikitikitavi, who offer lots of information on Kampot and Southern Cambodia, suggest learning a few food-related words to help you during your trip to Cambodia. Here they explain how people should properly pronounce simple foodie terms in Khmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Mahobe<\/td>\n(\u17a2\u17b6\u17a0\u17b6\u179a)<\/td>\nFood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Phochniyodthan<\/td>\n(\u1797\u17c4\u1787\u1793\u17b8\u1799\u178a\u17d2\u178b\u17b6\u1793)<\/td>\nRestaurant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bai<\/td>\n(\u17a2\u1784\u17d2\u1780\u179a)<\/td>\nRice<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Karee<\/td>\n(\u1780\u17b6\u179a\u17b8)<\/td>\nCurry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Transport<\/h2>\n

It is also worth learning some basic transport-related words as this could save you a lot of stress and time. The following basic words that Rikitikitavi recommend visitors to learn are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
laan krong<\/td>\n(\u179a\u1790\u1799\u1793\u17d2\u178a\u1780\u17d2\u179a\u17bb\u1784)<\/td>\nBus<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

moto<\/td>\n(\u1798\u17c9\u17bc\u178f\u17bc)<\/td>\nMotorbike<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Drink<\/h2>\n

Cambodia can get very hot and humid, and therefore keeping hydrated is vitally important. It is therefore useful to learn a few words in the local dialect so that you can ask for a drink. In an article from Rikitikitavi about learning Khmer they have compiled a list of some important words and how Brits should pronounce them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
puc<\/td>\n(\u1797\u17c1\u179f\u1787\u17d2\u1787\u17c8)<\/td>\nDrink<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

kaa fey<\/td>\n(\u1780\u17b6\u17a0\u17d2\u179c\u17c1)<\/td>\nCoffee<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Directions<\/h2>\n

If you are on a guided tour like Wendy Wu Tours’ Around Cambodia<\/a> trip, then you are fortunate as you will benefit from direct travel to attractions and escorted visits around the attraction you are visiting. However, should you need to ask for directions to the likes of Siem Reap, there are a few terms in Khmer that you should try to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
s\u2019dam<\/td>\n(\u1793\u17c5\u1781\u17b6\u1784\u179f\u17d2\u178a\u17b6\u17c6)<\/td>\nRight<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

leuhn<\/td>\n(\u178f\u1798\u1794\u17b6\u1799)<\/td>\nFast<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Days of the Week<\/h2>\n

Making it Easy Cambodia, who offer a range of khmer language courses, also recommend that visitors learn the days of the week. Below they have created a helpful image:<\/p>\n

\"days<\/a><\/p>\n

The Months of a Year<\/h2>\n

It is also worth learning what the months of the year are in khmer and Making it Easy Cambodia also teach this as part of their specialist classes.<\/p>\n

Other useful words<\/h2>\n

Here are some other useful words and sayings that are worth learning from the Khmer language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
