Bedeutung
Inviting someone to enter.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Removing shoes is mandatory when entering a Khmer home. Leaving them neatly outside the door is a sign of respect for the host's space. The 'Sampeah' (placing hands together) is often performed while saying 'សូមអញ្ជើញចូល' to show high respect to guests. Khmer people often invite people to 'come in and eat rice' (ចូលមកញ៉ាំបាយ) even if they have already eaten. It is a formulaic expression of generosity. In rural areas, houses are often on stilts. 'ចូលមក' still applies to entering the main living area once you have climbed the stairs.
The Hand Gesture
When saying 'ចូលមក,' wave your hand with the palm facing down and fingers pulling toward your chest. The Western 'palm up' wave can sometimes be confusing or even rude.
The Shoe Rule
Never walk into a house after being told 'ចូលមក' without checking if the host has shoes on. 99% of the time, you must leave them at the door.

The Double Invite
If someone says 'ចូលមក' and you are busy, it's polite to decline twice before they stop asking. If they ask a third time, they really want you to stay!
Adding 'Leng'
Always add 'លេង' (leng) if you want to sound extra friendly and less like you are giving an order.
