Need help with a tattoo
Need help with a tattoo
I wanted a while back to get a tattoo in honor of my fathers side of the family, written in Khmer and it says "Honor Courage Commitment", which are the core values for the USMC, which I serve in.
I don't trust google translate and am asking experts.
Can someone give me it written in Khmer so I can print it and take it to the artist. It would mean so much!

I hope someone can help you out with the translation, refreshing to hear of someone asking for a translation for a tattoo with meaning for a change as opposed to bacpackers who want to get shit like "YOLO" tattooed in Khmer script.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.
Be careful, I doubt it would work out like you think, for example, just stringing 3 words together.
I've already messed up with Thai and Mandarin so far, much to the amusement of people from those countries.
Luckily nobody can read my ancient Khmer script.

Without checking, I'm going to guess that chuck wow's suggestion translates to:
Penis
Testicles
Vagina

BTW I saw you stumbling around aimlessly in backpacker street the other afternoon, I would have pulled over and offered you a lift but I am a cunt, so I didn't.

I actually went to Google translate, and you're not too far off. 'Crazy shining whore' or something.gavinmac wrote:Without checking, I'm going to guess that chuck wow's suggestion translates to:

Anyway, I would suggest going to a REAL translation company (Pryamid for example) rather than taking the word of any forum user.

It's a bit strange having a US military slogan written in Khmer, that's not far off getting an SS slogan done in Hebrew. Excuse me Noah, how would one write "defender of the Aryan master race" in Hebrew? I'm getting a tattoo.
You're going to have trouble with that tattoo as I don't think it's translates. Honor here means that you have honor for something, it's not an abstract concept, as in "a man of honor" as it's meant here. That word is កិត្ដិយស.
The second word courage is easy, that translates well សេចក្ដីក្លាហាន, but it's a bit clumsy as it's using the prefix សេចក្ដី to change the verb ក្លាហាន into a noun, which is used a lot in writing but not so much in spoken Khmer.
The third word is a cluster fuck, Khmer doesn't have a unique word for commitment, so it's described, which is pretty common in Khmer, so the word is ការសន្យាផ្ដល់, which literally translates to "to provide a promise", not exactly poetic.
កិត្ដិយស សេចក្ដីក្លាហាន ការសន្យាផ្ដល់

OP, here are my suggestions:
Honor - កិត្តិយស
Courage - សេចក្តីក្លាហាន
Commitment - ការប្តេជ្ញាចិត្ត

Maybe "Had breakfast yet?" is easier to translate? (Breakfast as part of Operation Menu, that is.)
