How to say “One plate, please” in Khmer

សុំមួយចាន
som muoy chan
Pronunciation (IPA): /soːm muəj caːn/
Word by word: request + one + plate
💡 ចាន (chan) covers both 'plate' and the shallow bowls street food comes in. Hold up one finger as you say it — pointing at what a neighbour is eating works just as well.
