How to say “Charge the phone” in Khmer

សាកថ្មទូរស័ព្ទ
Sak thmo tourasap
Pronunciation (IPA): /saːk tʰmɔː tuːrəsɑp/
Word by word: charge + battery + telephone
💡 សាក (sak) = to charge; ថ្ម (thmo, literally 'stone') = battery. Heavy use of Grab, Maps, and Telegram drains phones fast in the heat. Cambodian cafés commonly keep charging cables at the counter, and power banks (ថ្មបម្រុង) are sold cheaply at convenience stores everywhere.
