Review Summary

  • Object + khong + Owner
  • Item + khong + Pronoun
  • Person + khong + Person
  • Body part + Pronoun

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You don't use 'khong' for body parts because they are permanently attached to you.

Wrong: Khong khoi mue (My hand)
सही: Mue khoi (My hand)

In Lao, the possessive particle 'khong' must come between the object and the owner.

Wrong: Pum khoi (Book my)
सही: Pum khong khoi (My book)

You must specify who the mother belongs to. Just saying 'khong mae' is incomplete.

Wrong: Khong mae (Mother)
सही: Mae khong khoi (My mother)

Next Steps

You've conquered possession! Your Lao is growing stronger every day. Keep going!
