How to say “Do it like that / That's how it's done” in Khmer

💡 ម្ល៉ះ (mlaːh) is a quintessentially colloquial particle-word meaning 'like that', 'that's how', or 'that's the way it is'. It's the spoken equivalent of written ដូច្នេះ (doch-nih) or ដូច្នោះ (doch-noh). You'll hear it constantly in casual conversation: 'ចូចម្ល៉ះ' (just like that), 'ហ្នឹងហើយម្ល៉ះ' (exactly, that's it). Its clipped, final quality signals you've grasped or completed a thought. Non-native speakers who use it correctly get instant credibility.
