How to say “Got it / I understand now” in Khmer

ដឹងហើយ

Deung haey

Pronunciation (IPA): /dəŋ haəj/

Word by word: know + already

💡 A perfect showcase of ហើយ marking a newly reached state — 'I know now'. ដឹង (deung) = to know (a fact). On its own ដឹងហើយ acknowledges understanding, like 'got it'. Said sharply it can sound impatient ('yeah, I know already!'), so tone matters with this everyday phrase.
