How to say “Same here / likewise” in Khmer

ដូចគ្នាដែរ

Doch knea daer

Pronunciation (IPA): /ɗoc kniə daə/

Word by word: same + as-each-other + (also/too particle)

💡 ដូចគ្នា (doch knea) = 'the same / same as each other', and the sentence-final ដែរ (daə, 'also/too') adds the speaker into the shared situation — 'likewise / same here'. It's the perfect reply to good wishes: after someone says 'happy new year' or 'safe travels', ដូចគ្នាដែរ returns the sentiment warmly. A polished, friendly closer in everyday exchanges.
