Review Summary

  • Subject + Object + Verb + Particle

اشتباهات رایج

Burmese is an SOV language. Putting the verb before the object sounds unnatural.

Wrong: ကျွန်တော် စားသည် ထမင်း။ (I eat rice - English word order)
صحیح: ကျွန်တော် ထမင်း စားသည်။

The particle 'သည်' is essential for full, correct sentences.

Wrong: ကျွန်တော် စား။ (Missing particle)
صحیح: ကျွန်တော် စားသည်။

The object (money) comes before the existence verb (to have).

Wrong: ကျွန်တော် ရှိသည် ပိုက်ဆံ။
صحیح: ကျွန်တော် ပိုက်ဆံ ရှိသည်။
