== Introduction ==
=== What Are Possessive Pronouns? ===


In this lesson, we will delve into the topic of possessive pronouns in Central Khmer. Possessive pronouns are an essential part of the language as they allow us to indicate ownership and possession. By understanding how to form and use possessive pronouns, you will be able to express yourself more accurately and confidently in Central Khmer. Throughout this lesson, we will explore the various forms of possessive pronouns, their proper usage, and pronunciation. To ensure a thorough understanding, we will provide numerous examples and exercises for practice.
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 in Central Khmer ==
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 are used to indicate ownership or possession. They are formed by combining the appropriate pronoun with a possessive suffix. The possessive suffixes vary based on the gender and number of the possessor, as well as the relationship between the possessor and the possessed object. Let's explore the different forms of possessive pronouns in Central Khmer.
=== Possessive Pronouns in Central Khmer ===


=== Singular Possessive Pronouns ===
In Central Khmer, possessive pronouns are quite straightforward. Here is a list of the primary possessive pronouns:
 
{| class="wikitable"


In Central Khmer, singular possessive pronouns are used when the possessor is singular. The possessive pronoun agrees in gender and number with the possessor. Here are the singular possessive pronouns in Central Khmer:

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.
