How to say “I'm going to the market — and you?” in Khmer

ខ្ញុំទៅផ្សារ ឯងវិញ?
Khnhom tov phsar, aeng vinh?
Pronunciation (IPA): /kʰɲom tɨw psaː ʔaeŋ ʋɨɲ/
Word by word: I + go + market + you + (turning-back particle)
💡 វិញ (ʋɨɲ) here turns the question back to the listener — 'and you, on your part?'. After stating your own plan, appending [person] វិញ? is the idiomatic way to ask 'what about you?'. ឯង (aeng) is a casual 'you' between close friends and peers; use a more respectful term with elders or strangers to avoid sounding too blunt.
