Dear 9:37 PM,

Wow, green? Never thought of that. I was looking for a pink one, but that must go with long black hair. I don't like short hair ;)

when I was much younger, I had only one set of cloth, most Khmer kids are just like that.

in Khmer language , green is the sub-color of blue. another word , green is also blue.

I also have one set of clothes as well.
One blue shorts and one white (short sleeve) shirt for the whole ( calendar) years of school. The good old day. Lol

It's an interesting concept though, but I suspect that the confusion came during the time when Thailand subjugated the western part of Cambodia. "Khiev" refers to green color in Thai language. People are mixed with this color reference and they don't realize how they damaged Khmer language and culture.
We have to look at other confused terms to clarify the mistake once our country gets back into social order.

Dear Yeay Tep,

I love what you have pointed out. I love Khmer language very much. I never speak English at home -- only at work because I don't have anyone to speak Khmer with. I believe I love Khmer language more than many Khmers [although you know where I came from] :) I am a big fan of His Holiness Chuon Nath. He's my role model. I am still learning so much from him every day.
