How to say “Wait for me a moment” in Khmer

ចាំខ្ញុំបន្តិច
Cham khnhom bantich
Pronunciation (IPA): /caːm kʰɲom bɑntəc/
Word by word: wait + me + a little
💡 ចាំ (cham) = wait. Very common request when hopping out briefly. Most Cambodian tuk-tuk drivers will wait without extra charge for a reasonable time. For a long wait (30+ min), offer extra pay: $1–2 is generous and appreciated.
