The 'Double Lo' Trick

Use 'လိုလို' (lo-lo) to express uncertainty or 'somewhat like'. For example, 'သိသလိုလို' means 'I feel like I somewhat know it'.

The 'Lo' Safety Net

Review Summary

  • Adjective + Noun + Particle
  • Noun + လို + Verb
  • Reason + ကြောင့် + Result
  • Abstract Noun + Context

Erreurs courantes

Modifier order is reversed in Burmese compared to English. Adjectives must come before the noun.

Wrong: နည်းပညာသစ် အဆင့်မြင့် (Technology new advanced)
Correct: အဆင့်မြင့်နည်းပညာသစ် (Advanced new technology)

Redundancy occurs when using (လို) and (တူ). Simplify the construction.

Wrong: သူလို တူတယ် (Like him similar)
Correct: သူနှင့်တူသည် (Similar to him)

Causal particles must be attached directly to the reason clause.

Wrong: မိုးရွာတယ်၊ ကြောင့် ပျက်သွားတယ် (Rain fell, because it was cancelled)
Correct: မိုးရွာသောကြောင့် ပျက်သွားသည် (Because it rained, it was cancelled)
