Review Summary

  • Noun + របស់ + Owner
  • Noun + Owner

Errores comunes

Khmer places the noun before the possessive marker. Always put the object first.

Wrong: របស់ខ្ញុំសៀវភៅ
Correcto: សៀវភៅរបស់ខ្ញុំ

Don't forget the copula 'chea' before nouns in basic identification.

Wrong: នេះកាបូប
Correcto: នេះជាកាបូប

You only need one 'robors' marker per possessive link.

Wrong: សៀវភៅរបស់របស់ខ្ញុំ
Correcto: សៀវភៅរបស់ខ្ញុំ
