Review Summary

  • A + Adjective + ជាង (cheang) + B
  • A + Adjective + ជាងគេ (cheang-ke)

자주 하는 실수

The word 'cheang' must follow the adjective, not precede it. It acts as a suffix to the quality.

Wrong: អាវនេះជាងថ្លៃ
정답: អាវនេះថ្លៃជាង

You don't need the verb 'to be' (គឺ) here. Simply follow the noun with the adjective and the superlative marker.

Wrong: នេះគឺជាថ្លៃជាងគេ
정답: នេះថ្លៃជាងគេ

The superlative marker 'cheang-ke' should come at the end of the phrase describing the quality or preference.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំចូលចិត្តជាងគេអាវនេះ
정답: ខ្ញុំចូលចិត្តអាវនេះជាងគេ
