How Would You Say......In Khmer?
To the few of you top blokes out there that are fluent in Khmer, how would you write out "Anything is possible" in Khmer script? Is there no direct translation to this?
Thanks all.

Tattoo?
I’d go with something like...
អ្វីទាំងអស់យើងអាចធ្វើបាន
Or
អ្វីទាំងអស់ខ្ញុំអាចធ្វើបាន
Literally means we can do anything/everything, or I can do anything.
The more vague...’anything is possible’ I think would be translatable but may not be understood by many.
Hey, don’t you have a Khmer speaker to hand who could give you better advice than us muppets?

I firmly believe that ខ្ញុំបានរួមភេទជាមួយសត្វលាមួយដង happened to you in real life.
I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

Tattoo, yes. And yes, I asked the wife and like you, she said that there isn't a direct translation. It'd have to be those exact words or no go. Damn.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:Tattoo?

I'd normally leave at that but since it's a tattoo, I thought I'd ask for other opinions to be sure.
Thanks

Just joshin ya
Be very careful with the wording even when you think you have it down. Before I had my script inked in 2007 I had mine checked checked and triple checked and then checked again and each time got something slightly different.

Sounds like it's a no go. Between my wife and the Khmer named poster above, doesn't sound like it's translate well.

It’s tricky to translate proverbs or pithy sayings into Khmer. Often you need to almost explain them in Khmer them rather than directly translate them.DetroitMuscle wrote:ricecakes wrote:Just joshin ya

It’s isn’t difficult to translate, but the big question is be if the translation is understood by a native speaker.
If you want a Khmer proverb painted to your body, better use a Khmer proverb than translating an English one since translating a proverb literally usually changes the meaning, far from recommended.
