Review Summary

  • Subject + Verb + Object

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You might be tempted to add an 's' or change the verb for 'I'. In Khmer, this is incorrect because verbs don't conjugate.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំញ៉ាំស (I eats)
सही: ខ្ញុំញ៉ាំ (I eat)

Ensure you don't add endings to denote tense or person. The base form is always correct.

Wrong: គាត់ទៅរ (He go)
सही: គាត់ទៅ (He goes)

Avoid doubling the verb to show plurality. The verb stays singular regardless of the subject.

Wrong: យើងដេកៗ (We sleep-sleep)
सही: យើងដេក (We sleep)
