Bedeutung
A group consisting of parents and children.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Family is the most important unit. It is common for three generations to live together. Respect for elders (Bong) is paramount. In villages, 'family' often extends to the whole neighborhood. People treat neighbors like 'Bong-p-oun' (siblings). Younger generations are moving toward nuclear families, but they still return to their hometowns for family festivals. Ancestors are considered part of the 'extended' family. Offerings are made to keep the family lineage blessed.
Polite Spouse Reference
If you are talking to an elder, calling your husband/wife 'Kruosar khnhom' sounds very polite and humble.
Word Order
Always remember: Kruosar + Name/Pronoun. Never say 'Khnhom Kruosar'.

Counting People
Always use the classifier 'នាក់' (neak) when counting family members. 'គ្រួសារខ្ញុំមាន ៥ នាក់' (My family has 5 people).
Asking about Family
It is not rude to ask about someone's family early in a conversation; it shows you are interested in their life.
