What Are Possessive Pronouns?[edit | edit source]

Possessive pronouns are words that indicate ownership or possession. In English, we have pronouns like "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their." Similarly, Central Khmer has its own set of possessive pronouns that serve the same purpose.

Understanding possessive pronouns is crucial for creating more meaningful sentences in Khmer. For instance, instead of saying "the book of me," you can simply say "my book." This transformation not only simplifies your speech but also makes it sound more fluent.

Possessive Pronouns in Central Khmer[edit | edit source]

In Central Khmer, possessive pronouns are quite straightforward. Here is a list of the primary possessive pronouns:

Central Khmer	Pronunciation	English
ខ្ញុំ (khnom)	/kɲom/	my
អ្នក (anak)	/ʔanak/	your (singular/informal)
គាត់ (kuat)	/kuat/	his
នាង (niang)	/niːaŋ/	her
វា (vea)	/vea/	its
យើង (yeung)	/jɨəŋ/	our
អ្នក (anak)	/ʔanak/	your (plural/formal)
ពួកគេ (puok ke)	/puɔk ke/	their

== Pronunciation Tips

Pay attention to the tone and intonation as you pronounce these words. For example, "ខ្ញុំ" (khnom) has a nasal quality that’s characteristic of Khmer pronunciation.

Practice saying them out loud while focusing on the articulation of each syllable.

Examples of Usage[edit | edit source]

Now that we know the possessive pronouns, let’s explore how to use them in sentences. Here are some examples that illustrate their application:

Central Khmer	Pronunciation	English
ខ្ញុំមានសៀវភៅ។	/khnom mean siĕvphŏu/	I have a book.
អ្នកកំពុងអានសៀវភៅរបស់ខ្ញុំ។	/anak kɑmpŏng an siĕvphŏu robŏh khnom/	You are reading my book.
គាត់មានកុមារ។	/kuat mean kʊmɑː/	He has a child.
នាងកំពុងរាំនៅផ្ទះរបស់គាត់។	/niang kɑmpŏng rɑm nov phtɛh robŏh kuat/	She is dancing at his house.
វាមានកង់មួយ។	/vea mean kɑŋ muoy/	It has one bicycle.
យើងកំពុងធ្វើការនៅកន្លែងរបស់យើង។	/yeung kɑmpŏng thvŏe kā nov kɑnlɛŋ robŏh yeung/	We are working at our place.
អ្នកមើលរូបថតរបស់ពួកគេ។	/anak mɨəl rŏup thŏt robŏh puok ke/	You are looking at their photo.

As you can see, possessive pronouns can easily replace the longer phrases to convey the same meaning. This not only makes your sentences shorter but also more natural!

+=== What Are Possessive Pronouns? ===
+Possessive pronouns are words that indicate ownership or possession. In English, we have pronouns like "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their." Similarly, Central Khmer has its own set of possessive pronouns that serve the same purpose.

-Possessive pronouns are used to show ownership or possession of a noun. They are used in place of a noun and are often preceded by the word "របស់" (rɔh-bsɑ) which means "of".
+=== Possessive Pronouns in Central Khmer ===
-The following table shows the Central Khmer possessive pronouns:
+In Central Khmer, possessive pronouns are quite straightforward. Here is a list of the primary possessive pronouns:

-|}
-Note that the pronoun for hers/his is the same in Central Khmer.
+| អ្នក (anak) || /ʔanak/ || your (plural/formal)
-The word "ក្រុម" (krum) means "group" in Central Khmer. To indicate possession by a group, we use the plural form of the possessive pronoun. For example:
+|-
-- ក្រុមរបស់ខ្លួនឆ្ងាយជាងក្រុមរបស់យើង។ (krum rɔh-bsɑ khluən cŋaəy cieŋ krum rɔh-bsɑ yəəŋ.) - Our group is farther than your group.

-== Possessive Adjectives ==
+* Practice saying them out loud while focusing on the articulation of each syllable.
-Possessive adjectives function like possessive pronouns, but they are placed before the noun they describe. They are formed by adding the possessive particle "របស់" (rɔh-bsɑ) to the appropriate personal pronoun.
