أخطاء شائعة

While Khmer is flexible, placing 'beu' at the start is the most natural way to structure conditional logic.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំទៅលេង បើខ្ញុំមានពេល។
صحيح: បើខ្ញុំមានពេល ខ្ញុំទៅលេង។

Always include the subject after 'beu' for clarity.

Wrong: បើមានពេល ខ្ញុំនឹងទៅ។
صحيح: បើខ្ញុំមានពេល ខ្ញុំនឹងទៅ។

Using the future marker 'nung' helps clarify that the result is a future action.

Wrong: បើសិនជាមេឃភ្លៀង ខ្ញុំទៅ។
صحيح: បើសិនជាមេឃភ្លៀង ខ្ញុំនឹងទៅ។
