How to say “I'm broke, money's all gone” in Khmer
ខ្ញុំក្រ ប្រាក់អស់ហើយ
khnhom krɑ, praq ɑh haəy
💡 ក្រ (krɑ) means poor or broke — it's direct but not taboo when used self-deprecatingly among friends. ប្រាក់អស់ (money is finished) is the common explanation. In Cambodia, it's normal to joke about being broke after a weekend out; it builds social intimacy.
