Hi Central Khmer learners! 😊<br>In today's lesson, we will be discussing pronouns in Central Khmer. Pronouns are words that can replace nouns in a sentence. They are used to make sentences shorter and easier to understand. We will look at the different types of pronouns, how they are used, and some examples of their usage.

== Personal Pronouns ==
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/central-khmer Central Khmer] learners! 😊<br>
In this lesson, we will learn about Central Khmer pronouns, which are words that replace nouns. They help us avoid repetition and make sentences sound more natural. Pronouns are used in daily conversation, writing, and formal speeches. They are essential in any language for fluent communication.


Personal pronouns are used to refer to people or things. In Central Khmer, there are three types of personal pronouns: singular, dual, and plural.

=== Singular ===


Singular pronouns are used to refer to one person or thing. The singular pronouns in Central Khmer are:

* ខ្ញុំ (kɲom) - I
== Personal Pronouns ==
* អ្នក (neak) - you
* គាត់ (kɑt) - he/she/it


For example:  
Personal pronouns in Central Khmer do not change based on gender but may vary with the level of formality and social hierarchy. Here's a corrected table of personal pronouns:


* ខ្ញុំបាទចង់បញ្ចូលអត្ថបទនេះហើយ (kɲom bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou ɑtɑb dənəh həy) - I want to submit this article now.
{| class="wikitable"
* អ្នកបាទចង់បញ្ចូលអត្ថបទនេះហើយ (neak bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou ɑtɑb dənəh həy) - You want to submit this article now.

* គាត់បាទចង់បញ្ចូលអត្ថបទនេះហើយ (kɑt bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou ɑtɑb dənəh həy) - He/She/It wants to submit this article now.
|-
| ខ្ញុំ || khnhom || I/me
|-
| អ្នក || neak || you (singular/formal)
|-
| គាត់ || keat || he/she/it (formal)
|-
| យើង || yeung || we/us
|-
| ពួកយើង || puok yeung || you (plural)
|-
| ពួកគាត់ || puok keat || they/them
|}


=== Dual ===


Dual pronouns are used to refer to two people or things. The dual pronouns in Central Khmer are:
== Possessive Pronouns ==


* យើង (yeung) - we (two people)
Possessive pronouns in Khmer follow the structure of personal pronouns with the addition of "របស់" (robos) to denote possession. Here's a corrected version:
* អ្នកពីរ (neak pii) - you (two people)
* ពួកគេ (puuk kee) - they (two people)


For example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Central Khmer !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| របស់ខ្ញុំ || robos khnhom || my/mine
|-
| របស់អ្នក || robos neak || your(s)
|-
| របស់គាត់ || robos keat || his/hers/its
|-
| របស់យើង || robos yeung || our(s)
|-
| របស់ពួកយើង || robos puok yeung || your(s) (plural)
|-
| របស់ពួកគាត់ || robos puok keat || their(s)
|}


* យើងបាទចង់បញ្ចូលអត្ថបទនេះហើយ (yeung bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou ɑtɑb dənəh həy) - We want to submit this article now.
* អ្នកពីរបាទចង់បញ្ចូលអត្ថបទនេះហើយ (neak pii bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou ɑtɑb dənəh həy) - You (two people) want to submit this article now.
* ពួកគេបាទចង់បញ្ចូលអត្ថបទនេះហើយ (puuk kee bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou ɑtɑb dənəh həy) - They (two people) want to submit this article now.


=== Plural ===
== Reflexive Pronouns ==


Plural pronouns are used to refer to more than two people or things. The plural pronouns in Central Khmer are:  
Reflexive pronouns in Central Khmer are formed by adding "ខ្លួន" (kloun) to the respective personal pronoun, not "ឯង (eang)" as previously stated. Here's the corrected version:


* យើងច្រើន (yeung crəən) - we (more than two people)
{| class="wikitable"
* អ្នកច្រើន (neak crəən) - you (more than two people)
! Central Khmer !! Pronunciation !! English
* ពួកគេច្រើន (puuk kee crəən) - they (more than two people)
|-
 
| ខ្ញុំខ្លួន || khnhom kloun || myself
For example:
|-
 
| អ្នកខ្លួន || neak kloun || yourself
* យើងច្រើនបាទចង់បញ្ចូលអត្ថបទនេះហើយ (yeung crəən bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou ɑtɑb dənəh həy) - We (more than two people) want to submit this article now.
|-
* អ្នកច្រើនបាទចង់បញ្ចូលអត្ថបទនេះហើយ (neak crəən bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou ɑtɑb dənəh həy) - You (more than two people) want to submit this article now.
| គាត់ខ្លួន || keat kloun || himself/herself/itself
* ពួកគេច្រើនបាទចង់បញ្ចូលអត្ថបទនេះហើយ (puuk kee crəən bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou ɑtɑb dənəh həy) - They (more than two people) want to submit this article now.
|-
| យើងខ្លួន || yeung kloun || ourselves
|-
| ពួកយើងខ្លួន || puok yeung kloun || yourselves (plural)
|-
| ពួកគាត់ខ្លួន || puok keat kloun || themselves
|}


== Demonstrative Pronouns ==
== Demonstrative Pronouns ==


Demonstrative pronouns are used to point out people or things. In Central Khmer, there are four types of demonstrative pronouns: near, far, near-plural, and far-plural.
Demonstrative pronouns are correctly noted in the original lesson, but here's a slight clarification for better understanding:
 
=== Near ===


Near demonstrative pronouns are used to refer to people or things that are close by. The near demonstrative pronouns in Central Khmer are:
{| class="wikitable"
! Central Khmer !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| នេះ || nih || this/these
|-
| នោះ || noh || that/those
|}


* នេះ (nəh) - this
* នោះ (nuh) - that


For example:
== Indefinite Pronouns ==


* នេះជាអត្ថបទដែលខ្ញុំបាទចង់បញ្ចូល (nəh cie ɑtɑb dəl kɲom bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou) - This is the article that I want to submit.
The lesson on indefinite pronouns was somewhat misleading. Here's a simplified and corrected table:
* នោះជាអត្ថបទដែលអ្នកបាទចង់បញ្ចូល (nuh cie ɑtɑb dəl neak bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou) - That is the article that you want to submit.  


=== Far ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Central Khmer !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| មនុស្សម្នាក ់ណាមួយ || monus menak na mouy || someone
|-
| អ្វីមួយ || avei mouy || something
|-
| គ្រប់គ្នា || krob knie || everyone/everything
|}


Far demonstrative pronouns are used to refer to people or things that are far away. The far demonstrative pronouns in Central Khmer are:
== Interrogative Pronouns ==


* នៅទីនេះ (nəv tii nəh) - this (far away)
Interrogative pronouns in Central Khmer include words for asking about people, things, places, and reasons. Here's a corrected and expanded list:
* នៅទីនោះ (nəv tii nuh) - that (far away)


For example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Central Khmer !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| អ្វី || avei || What?
|-
| នរណា || nor na || Who?
|-
| តើ || tae || (used for forming questions, not a standalone pronoun)
|-
| ហេតុអ្វី || het avei || Why?
|}


* នៅទីនេះជាអត្ថបទដែលខ្ញុំបាទចង់បញ្ចូល (nəv tii nəh cie ɑtɑb dəl kɲom bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou) - This (far away) is the article that I want to submit.
* នៅទីនោះជាអត្ថបទដែលអ្នកបាទចង់បញ្ចូល (nəv tii nuh cie ɑtɑb dəl neak bɑt cɑŋ bɑnclou) - That (far away) is the article that you want to submit.


=== Near-Plural ===


Near-plural demonstrative pronouns are used to refer to multiple people or things that are close by. The near-plural demonstrative pronouns in Central Khmer are:
