Conseils et astuces (4)

🎯

The 'Pè' Power

Always include 'ပဲ' (pè) after 'ဘယ်လောက်'. It's the 'only' that turns 'how much' into 'no matter how much'.

🎯

The Stem Rule

Always drop the polite suffix 'de' or 'me' before adding 'shi-lint-ga-sar'.

Questions fréquentes (6)

Yes, but you need to add ဖြစ်ဖြစ် (pyit-pyit) after the noun. For example: ဘယ်လောက်ပဲ ရန်သူ ဖြစ်ဖြစ် (No matter how much of an enemy they are).
It is neutral and used in both spoken and written Burmese. For very formal/literary contexts, use မည်မျှပင်...စေကာမူ.
Yes, but usually you add 'ဖြစ်' (to be) first, as in 'ဆရာဖြစ်ရှိလင့်ကစား' (In spite of being a teacher).
Yes, but almost exclusively in writing (books, news, formal letters).
No, it must follow a verb. If you want to use a noun, you must add a verb like 'ဖြစ်' (to be), e.g., ကျောင်းသားဖြစ်သည့်တိုင်အောင် (Even though he is a student).
In meaning, yes. In register, no. သည့်တိုင်အောင် is much more formal.
