Let's Learn Myanmar

Verbs in the Myanmar Language In Myanmar, verbs are put after their objects. If you know Japanese, the structures of the two languages are almost identical.  Gohan o taberu. 私は米を食べる。 Gohan (rice) o (particle)  taberu (eat) I will eat rice. ငါ + ထမင်း + ကို + စာ + မည်။ Nga (I) + Tamin (Rice) + Ko (particle)+ Saa (eat) + Mae (will) I will eat rice. Verbs you should know: လမ်းလျှောက် (lan chao) to walk ငို (ngo) to cry ဖတ် (Putt) to read ရေး (Yay) to write ပြော (Pyor) speak

Adverbs in Myanmar Adverbs modify verbs and adjectives. Adverbs come before verbs or adjectives. Examples: 1. I really like you. ငါမင်းကိုအရမ်းကြိုက်တယ် ။ (I really like you.) Nga Ming Ko Ayam Jai Dae. Nga (I) Ming (You)  Ko (object-marker particle)  Ayam (very)  Jai (like)  Dae (end-of-sentence particle). Notice the word 'ayam' comes before the verb 'Jai'. 2. Very Hot အရမ်းပူ -  Ayam Poo  Ayam (very) + Poo (hot)
