Contexto cultural
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'.
