  • မ + Verb + ဘူး
  • ဘာ + Verb + ခဲ့ + လဲ
  • Verb + ပြီးပြီ

자주 하는 실수

Mixing up 'ခဲ့' (simple past) and 'ဖူး' (experience). Use 'ဖူး' only for life experiences.

Wrong: ကျွန်တော် စားခဲ့ဘူး
정답: ကျွန်တော် စားဖူးတယ်

You don't need 'ခဲ့' when negating with 'ဘူး'.

Wrong: မစားခဲ့ဘူး
정답: မစားဘူး

The past marker 'ခဲ့' must come before the final particle 'တယ်'.

Wrong: ကောင်းတယ်ခဲ့
정답: ကောင်းခဲ့တယ်
