Central Khmer Grammar - Give your Opinion

Hi Central Khmer learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to give your opinion in Central Khmer. We will look at the grammar rules and some examples.

Rules

Giving your opinion in Central Khmer is quite simple. To express your opinion, you can use the following phrases:

  • αžαŸ’αž‰αž»αŸ†αž‚αž·αžαžαžΆ... (kΙ²om kΙ™t tae...) - I think that...
  • αžαŸ’αž‰αž»αŸ†αž…αž„αŸ‹αžαžΆ... (kΙ²om cΙ‘Ε‹ tae...) - I want to say that...
  • αžαŸ’αž‰αž»αŸ†αž”αžΆαž“αžŸαž·αž€αŸ’αžŸαžΆαžαžΆ... (kΙ²om bΙ‘n sΙ™k sae tae...) - I have learned that...

You can also use the verb αž‚αž·αž (kΙ™t) which means "to think" or "to consider". For example:

  • αžαŸ’αž‰αž»αŸ†αž‚αž·αžαžαžΆαžœαžΆαž˜αžΆαž“αž”αŸ’αžšαž™αŸαžαŸ’αž“αž–αžΈαžšαž”αžŸαŸ‹αžαŸ’αž‰αž»αŸ†αž”αŸ‰αž»αž“αŸ’αžαŸ‚αžœαžΆαž˜αž·αž“αž’αžΆαž…αž’αŸ’αžœαžΎαž’αŸ’αžœαžΈαž”αžΆαž“αž‘αŸ (kΙ²om kΙ™t tae vΙ‘ nΙ™ mΙ™n prΙ™yΙ‘t pii kΙ²om bΙ”n nΙ™t vΙ‘ mΙ™n mΙ™n Ι‘v tΙ™v Ι‘n bΙ‘n te?) - I think it has potential but it can't do anything.

Examples

I think it has potential but it can't do anything.
