Combining Consonants and Vowels (ဗျည်းတွဲသရတွဲ)

Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Burmese syllables are built by attaching vowel markers to consonants, creating a block-like structure that flows from left to right.

  • Consonants are the base: 'က' (ka) is the foundation.
  • Vowels are attachments: 'က' + 'ါ' = 'ကာ' (kaa).
  • Position matters: Vowels can appear to the right, left, top, or bottom of the consonant.
Consonant (က) + Vowel Marker (ါ) = Syllable (ကာ)
