How to Say “Beautiful” in Cambodian (Khmer)
In Cambodian (Khmer), the word for “beautiful” is “ស្អាត” (saʔat). This word can be used to describe people, places, or things that are visually appealing or attractive.
Here are some example sentences:
- អ្នកស្អាតណាស់ (Neak saʔat nas) – “You are very beautiful.”
- ផ្ទះនេះស្អាត (P’teah nih saʔat) – “This house is beautiful.”
- មេឃស្អាត (Meik saʔat) – “The sky is beautiful.”
In spoken Khmer, you can also use “ល្អ” (la’or) to mean “good” or “nice,” which can sometimes convey beauty in certain contexts. Whether complimenting a person or scenery, “saʔat” is the best word to express beauty in Khmer!
