意味
Living in a place temporarily.
文化的背景
It is very common for Cambodians to invite guests to 'Snak-nov' at their home rather than suggesting a hotel. Declining might require a polite excuse about 'not wanting to disturb' (កុំឱ្យរំខាន). The 'Wat' is a traditional safety net. Travelers or students with no money can 'Snak-nov' there. This has created a social class known as 'Kmeing Wat' (Pagoda Boys). You never use 'Snak-nov' for the King. You must use 'ប្រថាប់នៅ' (Pro-thap-nov). Using the wrong word is a major social faux pas in formal writing. Many factory workers 'Snak-nov' in rental rooms (បន្ទប់ជួល) near the city. They still consider their village house as where they 'Ros-nov' (live).
The 'Suitcase' Rule
If you are carrying a suitcase, you are probably 'Snak-nov'. If you are carrying groceries to your own kitchen, you are 'Ros-nov'.
Monk Etiquette
Never use 'Snak-nov' for a monk. Use 'Kong-nov' (គង់នៅ) to show respect for their religious status.

Dropping the 'Nov'

Asking 'Where'
Asking 'Where are you staying?' is a very common and polite way to start a conversation with a foreigner in Cambodia.

よくある質問

It is neutral. It's appropriate for both a chat with a friend and a business email.
'Snak-nov' is about the location of your stay. 'Sam-reak' means 'to rest' or 'to take a break'.

No, the 'Nov' part already acts as 'at'. You can go straight to the place name.

Yes, 'ខ្ញុំស្នាក់នៅភ្នំពេញ' is correct if you are just visiting.
