أخطاء شائعة

You don't use 'khong' for body parts because they are permanently attached to you.

Wrong: Khong khoi mue (My hand)
صحيح: Mue khoi (My hand)

In Lao, the possessive particle 'khong' must come between the object and the owner.

Wrong: Pum khoi (Book my)
صحيح: Pum khong khoi (My book)

You must specify who the mother belongs to. Just saying 'khong mae' is incomplete.

Wrong: Khong mae (Mother)
صحيح: Mae khong khoi (My mother)
