Review Summary
- Noun + ដែល (dael) + Clause/Verb
اشتباهات رایج
Do not include a redundant pronoun (like 'him' or 'it') after the verb in the relative clause if the noun is already the object of that clause.
The relative marker 'dael' must follow the noun it describes. You cannot start the phrase with 'dael' without the noun preceding it.
While simple adjectives follow nouns, if you are using 'dael' to create a clause like 'the house that is big,' 'dael' usually comes immediately after the main noun.
