2.5 Bus or Speed Boat?

The Adverb “Once, Twice, Thrice” in Khmer

The particle ដង is combined with the numbers to describe something has been done a few times, but not very often. However, when មួយ “one” is used with a particle ដង, it is contracted to ម្តង.

Examples

ខ្ញុំបានទៅសៀមរាបម្តង។​ “I have been to Siem Reap once.”

Comparing with:
