Review Summary

  • [Verb] + ហើយ (haey)

자주 하는 실수

The particle 'haey' must follow the verb, not precede it. It acts as a post-verbal aspect marker.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំហើយញ៉ាំបាយ
정답: ខ្ញុំញ៉ាំបាយហើយ

You need to include the particle 'haey' for completion, 'ruoch' alone is an adjective.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំញ៉ាំរួចនៅ
정답: ខ្ញុំញ៉ាំរួចហើយ

Mixing 'nov-te' (still) and 'haey' (already) in the same state is contradictory.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំនៅតែញ៉ាំហើយ
정답: ខ្ញុំនៅតែញ៉ាំ
