How to say “Thank you very much” in Khmer
អរគុណណាស់
Arkoun nas
💡 ណាស់ (nah) is the primary intensifier in Khmer, meaning 'very', 'really', or 'extremely'. It always follows the adjective or verb it intensifies. ស្អាតណាស់ = very beautiful, ឆ្ងាញ់ណាស់ = very delicious. Note the spelling ណាស់ vs. the softening particle ណា — they look similar but serve opposite pragmatic functions: ណាស់ amplifies, ណា softens. Getting this distinction right is a reliable marker of intermediate Khmer proficiency.
