How to say “It looks good / appears nice” in Khmer

ល្អមើល
L'or meul
Pronunciation (IPA): /lʔɑː məːl/
Word by word: good + (evidential 'looks/seems' verb-particle)
💡 មើល (meul, 'to look') functions almost as an evidential particle when appended to an adjective, conveying 'seems/appears'. ឆ្ងាញ់មើល = looks delicious. It hedges a judgment based on appearance rather than direct experience — a subtle but very natural touch in spoken Khmer.
