How to say “Stop talking! Listen to me” in Khmer
ឈប់និយាយ! ស្ដាប់ខ្ញុំ
chhob niyiey! sdap khnhom
💡 ឈប់ (chhob) = stop. ស្ដាប់ (sdap) = listen/hear. This is a playful command among close friends — like saying 'shush, hear me out!'. In formal or elder contexts it would be very rude; with peers it's affectionate teasing.
