Review Summary

  • Noun + ដែល (dael) + Clause/Verb

よくある間違い

Do not include a redundant pronoun (like 'him' or 'it') after the verb in the relative clause if the noun is already the object of that clause.

Wrong: មនុស្សដែលខ្ញុំស្គាល់គាត់ (M’nuh dael khnhom skoal koat)
正解: មនុស្សដែលខ្ញុំស្គាល់ (M’nuh dael khnhom skoal)

The relative marker 'dael' must follow the noun it describes. You cannot start the phrase with 'dael' without the noun preceding it.

Wrong: ដែលខ្ញុំទិញសៀវភៅ (Dael khnhom tinh siəv-pʰov)
正解: សៀវភៅដែលខ្ញុំទិញ (Siəv-pʰov dael khnhom tinh)

While simple adjectives follow nouns, if you are using 'dael' to create a clause like 'the house that is big,' 'dael' usually comes immediately after the main noun.

Wrong: ផ្ទះធំដែល (Phteah thom dael...)
正解: ផ្ទះដែលធំ (Phteah dael thom)
