DownLoLarry Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 If you are going to Cambodia, you really need to know how to say, I don't want it, thank you. Art Day R Con with Art Day = I don't want and R Con = Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I exchange the occasional email with a ladyboy in Cambodia who calls me biday and likes me to address her as brawpoon. Do you think I have anything to be concerned about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenW Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Now, here's one for the Cambodia knowledgeable: We have a Khmer name, let's say it's Bong Sumuvit. Now, which is family name, which is given? Which one is used in polite and formal address? For example in English we have a name like Ken Watanabe. Ken given. Formally we address him as Mr Watanabe. Informally as Ken. In some Asian cultures such as Vietnamese and Japanese that name would be written as Watanabe Ken, family name first. Formally though we would say Mr Ken (not Mr Watanabe as we do in English). In other Asian cultures such as Indonesian, though highly variable, they mostly do same same as English. So the Foreign Minister is Mr Marti Natalagawa, same same as us regards order and formality. What's the go for Khmer names? Help me please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Feeling lazy Ken so got Wikipedia on the case. "Cambodian names almost always consist of two elements: a surname, given first, and then a given name. In the Western press, however, some Cambodians indicate their names with their given name before their surname. There are no middle names. Generally, women are given names of things of beauty, while men are given names of virtues. Surnames are usually taken from the surname or the given name of the father and are generally monosyllabic. Cambodian surnames are sometimes identical to Chinese or Vietnamese surnames. Women keep their maiden names after marriage. Cambodian people are called by their given names without a title (informal) or by their given names with a title (formal); surnames are not a usual form of address (Surnames are used as a form of address, however, in the case of names that originated as revolutionary aliases.)[clarification needed] Different naming traditions exist among ethnic groups other than the Khmer majority. Among the Muslim minority, Arabic names are often used as family names." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
