អ្នកមិនចាំបាច់បើកវចនានុក្រមរាល់ដងទេ។ ចូរប្រើតម្រុយជុំវិញពាក្យនោះ ដើម្បីទាយអត្ថន័យ!

Don't Panic!
Perfect translation isn't needed.
(នៅកម្រិត B1 អ្នកមិនចាំបាច់បកប្រែត្រូវចំ ១០០% ទេ។ គ្រាន់តែយល់អត្ថន័យរួម (General Idea) គឺគ្រប់គ្រាន់ហើយ!)
If you see: "call off" the meeting
- Is it "cancel"? Yes.
- Is it "stop"? Yes.
- Is it "don't have it"? Yes.
All are good guesses!
