Review Summary

  • Subject + នៅ (nou) + Location

Erros comuns

You must include 'nou' to indicate location. Without it, the sentence has no preposition.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំផ្សារ (Knhom psar)
Correto: ខ្ញុំនៅផ្សារ (Knhom nou psar)

The preposition 'nou' must come after the subject, not at the start.

Wrong: នៅខ្ញុំផ្សារ (Nou knhom psar)
Correto: ខ្ញុំនៅផ្សារ (Knhom nou psar)

Do not add 'keu' (is/to be) when using 'nou'. 'Nou' already functions as the connector.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំនៅគឺផ្សារ (Knhom nou keu psar)
Correto: ខ្ញុំនៅផ្សារ (Knhom nou psar)
