Review Summary

  • Noun
  • Noun + Adjective
  • ລະດູ (Season) + Name
  • Noun

Erros comuns

Adjectives must follow the noun in Lao. You are describing the weather, not the 'hotness'.

Wrong: ຮ້ອນອາກາດ
Correto: ອາກາດຮ້ອນ

Do not mix seasonal names. Each season has a specific compound word.

Wrong: ລະດູແລ້ງຝົນ
Correto: ລະດູຝົນ

Sunshine cannot be cool. You should describe the air (ອາກາດ) as cool instead.

Wrong: ແດດ ເຢັນ
Correto: ອາກາດເຢັນ
