أخطاء شائعة

In Lao, the verb (pain) usually precedes the noun (body part).

Wrong: ຫົວເຈັບ (Head hurt - incorrect word order)
صحيح: ເຈັບຫົວ (Hurt head - correct word order)

You need to include the verb for 'go' and 'meet' to make a complete sentence.

Wrong: ຂ້ອຍໝໍ (I doctor)
صحيح: ຂ້ອຍໄປພົບໝໍ (I go see doctor)

Always use a subject 'ຂ້ອຍ' (I) to make your sentences natural.

Wrong: ເຈັບທ້ອງ ໝໍ (Stomach ache doctor)
صحيح: ຂ້ອຍເຈັບທ້ອງ ໄປພົບໝໍ (I have a stomach ache, I go see the doctor)
