How to say “I don't eat meat” in Khmer

ខ្ញុំមិនញ៉ាំសាច់ទេ
khnhom min nyam sach te
Pronunciation (IPA): /kʰɲom mɨn ɲam sac teː/
Word by word: I + not + eat + meat + (negation)
💡 ញ៉ាំ (nyam) = to eat; សាច់ (sach) = meat. Vegetarian eating is harder at meat-heavy stalls; fish sauce (ទឹកត្រី) hides in many dishes too. Strict vegetarians can look for បួស (buos), Buddhist vegetarian food.
