How do you say thank in cambodia?

There are a few ways to say "thank you" in Khmer, the language of Cambodia, depending on the level of formality and the context:

Formal:

* អរគុណ (orkun): This is the most common and polite way to say thank you. It's used in most situations, even with strangers.

* សូមអរគុណ (soom orkun): This is a more formal way to say thank you and translates to "Thank you very much." It's used in more formal situations, such as thanking someone in authority or for a large favor.

Informal:

* អរគុណ (orkun): This is the most common way to say thank you in informal situations. It can be used with friends and family.

Adding "very much" to the phrase:

* អរគុណ ច្រើន (orkun chreun): This means "Thank you very much."

* សូមអរគុណ ច្រើន (soom orkun chreun): This means "Thank you very much" and is more formal.

Responding to a "Thank you":

* មិនអីទេ (min ei te): This is the most common way to respond to "Thank you." It means "You're welcome" or "It's nothing."

Pronunciation:

No matter which phrase you choose, be sure to smile and show your appreciation with your body language.
