“Lucky” is a frequently used word in Cambodia. When something good happens, even when it’s
by a person’s own merit, like getting a promotion because they are a good
employee, they say they are lucky. The
main grocery store chain in Cambodia is named “Lucky Supermarket,” and a
popular fast food restaurant is “Lucky Burger.”
Lucky is even a common boys’ name.
There’s not a regularly used expression in Khmer for “Have a Nice
Day!” However, sometimes people will say
“Good Luck!” or “Have a Lucky Day!” as they are saying goodbye to one another.
