معنی
Commenting on a high price.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Two-Price' system is common. Vendors often quote a higher price to foreigners. Using 'Thlay Nas' shows you understand the local economy. Bargaining is a social interaction. It's not just about the money; it's about the conversation. Never get angry while saying something is expensive. Fixed prices are becoming more common in malls and supermarkets. Don't use 'Thlay Nas' as a bargaining tool in places like Aeon Mall. The word 'Thlay' is also used in the word for 'Liver' (ថ្លើម - Thlaem), which is culturally seen as the seat of courage and value.
The 'Oho' Factor
Start your sentence with 'Oho!' to sound more like a native. 'Oho! Thlay nas!'
Don't be aggressive
If you say it too loudly or with a mean face, the seller might refuse to sell to you at all.
