أسئلة شائعة (6)

Generally no. Use ຄວາມ (khuam) for adjectives. Using ການ with an adjective sounds like you are trying to turn a quality into a physical action, which is usually incorrect.
ນັກ (nak) implies a professional or expert status (e.g., ນັກບິນ - pilot), while ຜູ້ (phu) is a general doer (e.g., ຜູ້ຟັງ - listener).
It's a historical compound from when trains were steam-powered by coal fires. ລົດ (Car) + ໄຟ (Fire).
Yes! Lao is very productive. If you say ເຄື່ອງຕັດເຈ້ຍ (Machine-cut-paper), people will know you mean a paper cutter even if they use a different word.
Use 'kan' for physical actions and 'khwam' for abstract states.
Yes, if the meaning is clear, but check with a native speaker.
