3.2 First Time in Europe!

“Be used to…” in Khmer

Like in English, the word សុំានឹង “be used to” is used to donate that you become familiar with somethig, and no longer feel that the thing or person is unusual or surprising.

Examples

  • ខ្ញុំសុំានឹងអាកាសធាតុត្រជាក់។​ “I am used to the cold.”
  • គាត់សុំានឹងថ្នាក់រៀនថ្មី។​ “I am used to the new classroom.”
