The "Direct" Trap
Direct translation sounds rude.
នៅក្នុងបរិបទការងារអាជីព ការនិយាយត្រង់ៗពេកដោយមិនប្រើប្រាស់ Hedging ឬ Modality អាចធ្វើឲ្យអ្នកស្តាប់មានអារម្មណ៍ថាអ្នកជាមនុស្សឈ្លើយ។
close "I want to change the contract."
(Sounds like a demand.)
check "We might want to consider adjusting the contract."
(Soft, professional, leaves room for negotiation.)

កន្លែងសួរដេញដោលកម្រិតខ្ពស់
Student: If I always use hedging and low modality, won't I sound weak or unconfident in a business meeting?
Teacher: That is the master's balancing act! You use low modality when giving bad news or correcting a superior. But when pitching YOUR solution, you immediately switch to high modality and Cleft sentences to project absolute confidence.
