Burmese Grammar made easy — part 1 — Verb++

Verbs + Particles & Postpositional Markers - ကြိယာ၊ ပစ္စည်း၊ ဝိဘတ် | ka1-ri1-ya2, pyit-si3, we1-but

§ 1. The first type of Burmese Verbs are action words. They are called ပြုခြင်းပြကြိယာ | pyu1-chin3 pya1 ka1-ri1-ya2. Words in this category are come, go, eat, run, read, write, etc..

သွား | thwa3 — go

လာ | la2 — come

စား | sa3 — eat

Action words may have nouns in front to avoid ambiguity. Many of those nouns become part of the verbs.

ရေကူး | yay2 ku3 — swim (water + swim)

အလုပ်ဆင်း | a-loat hsin3 — go to work (work + go down)

ဈေးဝယ် | zay3 weare2 — go shopping (market + buy)

Related nouns for the actions are always in front of the verbs.

ညစာစား | nya1 za2 sa3 — have dinner (dinner + eat)

တက္ကစီခေါ် | tet-si2 khau2 — call taxi (taxi + call)

ဓါတ်ပုံရိုက် | dut-pone2 yite — take photos (photo + strike)

§ 1.1. Verbs can exist as stand alone words, usually as commands: သွား | thwa3 - Go! Get out!

Commands or instructions are words telling someone to do something. Sometimes they are repeated:

ဆုတ် ဆုတ် ဆုတ် | hsoat, hsoat, hsoat - Very common usage telling the driver that there is ample space and it's OK to reverse the car. It's very clear that the car is in reverse gear, and it is not a suggestion telling the driver to back up the parked car.

§ 1.2. Suffixes after verbs:

1. မှာထားလိုက် | hma2 hta3 lite — Order first. (to order + prior action + emphasis)
2. လာလည်ပါဦး | la2 leare2 ba2 ome3 — Please come visit. (come + visit + polite word + suggested or intended action)
3. သွားကြ | thwa3 ja1 - Go! (go + reference to more than one person)
4. စားကြည့်ရအောင် | sa3 kji1 ya1 oun2 — Let's try (taste) it. (eat + see + Let's)

12. သွားပါပြီ | thwa3 ba2 byi2 — I am a goner! ; I am doomed! (go + has reached certain condition)
13. သွားတော့ | thwa3 dau1 — Go now! You are free to go! (go + you are on your own now)
14. သွားမလို့ | thwa3 ma1-lo1 — I am preparing to go.
15. သွားပါတော့ | thwa3 ba2 dau1 — Please go! (go + I have waited long enough)

What are those words after the verbs? Just one or two extra words and they seem to convey different meanings.

§ 1.2.1 Some of the above verb suffixes can be classified into four kinds called အမျိုးအစားပြကြိယာဝိဘတ် | a-myo3 a-sa3 pya1 ka1-ri1-ya2 we1-but - PPM that shows the type. In another words, there are different kinds of intention behind saying those words.

1. စေခိုင်းဝိဘတ် | say2-khine3 we1-but - commands telling someone what to do: လော့.
   
   
2. ညှိနှိုင်းဝိဘတ် | hnyi1-hnine3 we1-but - negotiate and make agreement: စို့၊ ရအောင်
   
   
3. ဆန္ဒညွှန်ဝိဘတ် | hsun2-da1 hnyoon2 we1-but - expression of wish: ပါရစေ၊ ပါစေ
   
   
4. အမိန့်ချဝိဘတ် | a-main1-cha1 we1-but - official decree: စေ
   
   

The rest belong to other categories of particles and PPM, which are to be discussed in more detail. Those words are part of "backbone structure" of Myanmar grammar. The verb သွား | thwa3 (go) can be replaced with some other verbs like စား | sa3 (eat) in most of the above examples.

§ 1.3. Past tense, present tense, future tense are indicated by the following ending words:

တယ်၊ ပြီ၊ မည်၊ မယ်၊ သည်၊ လတ္တံ့၊ လိမ့်မည်၊ လိမ့်မယ်၊ ၏၊ အံ့ | deare2, byi2, myi2, meare2, dthi2, la1-tan1, lain1 myi2, lain1 meare2, e1, un1. Those are classified as ကာလပြကြိယာဝိဘတ် | ka2-la1 pya1 ka1-ri1-ya2 we1-but meaning Postpositional Markers that show time.

§ 1.4. Emotions and moods are expressed by the particles at the end of the sentences. Those words are like attaching emoticons in netiquette. They are often used to soften the tones and to show politeness in friendly conversations. Examples:

1. ချကွ | cha1 kwa1 — fight! (enthusiasm)
2. နာတယ်ဟ | na2 deare2 ha1 — It's painful! (exclamation)

16. ဟုတ်လိုက်လေ | hote lite lay2 — how true! (a bit of surprise)

NOTE: ** မလို့ | ma1-lo1 - has to do with something about to be done, or the purpose of something. Question: သွားမလို့လား | thwa3 ma1-lo1 la3 - Are you preparing to go? Have you decided to go? Answer: သွားမလို့ | thwa3 ma1-lo1 - Yes.

Those end of sentence particles are known as ဝါကျနောက်လိုက်ပစ္စည်း | wet-kja1 nout-lite pyit-si3. See more fun examples in lesson 3.

§ 1.5. Negative imperatives are constructed by the negative particle မ | ma1 before the verb. The sentence ends with နှင့် | hnin1 or လင့် | lin1 in the literary form, and နဲ့ | neare1 in the colloquial form. Examples:

1. မသွားနှင့် | ma1-thwa3 hnin1 — Do not go. [literary]
2. မသွားနဲ့ | ma1-thwa3 neare1 — Don't go. [colloquial]
3. မသွားလင့် | ma1-thwa3 lin1 — Do not go. [classical literary]

Compare hnin1 used in this negative sense to hnin1 used in the positive sense.

§ 1.6. Prohibitions are stronger form of negative imperatives. They are constructed by the negative particle မ | ma1 as a prefix before the verb. The sentence ends with ရ | ya1 in written displays, and ရဘူး | ya1 bu3 in the spoken form. Examples:

1. မဝင်ရ | ma1-win2 ya1 — Do not Enter. (Prohibitions such as on road signs)
2. မဝင်ရဘူး | ma1-win2 ya1 bu3 — Don't go inside. [colloquial]

§ 1.7. In general, negative statements are constructed with the prefix မ | ma1 as in negative imperatives and prohibitions. This prefix is called အငြင်းပြပစ္စည်း | a-nyin3-pya1 pyit-si3 meaning "particle that shows argument".

1. မလိုချင်ဘူး | ma1-lo2 chin2 bu3 — I don't want it.
2. မလိုချေ | ma1-lo2 chay2 — No need. [literary ending words]
3. မလိုဘူး | ma1-lo2 bu3 — No need.
4. မလိုတော့ဘူး | ma1-lo2 dau1 bu3 — I no longer need it.
5. မလိုအပ်ပါ | ma1-lo2 ut ba2 — No need. [literary ending words]
6. မလိုပေ | ma1-lo2 bay2 — No need. [literary ending words]
7. မလိုသေး | ma1-lo2 dthay3 — (It is) still not needed. [literary ending words]
8. မလိုသေးဘူး | ma1-lo2 thay3 bu3 — I don't need it yet.
9. မရလေ | ma1-ya1 lay2 — cannot be done.[literary ending words]

§ 1.8. plurality of the verbs are indicated by the suffix words ကြ | ja2 in colloquial form, and ကုန် | kone2 or ကြကုန် | ja1 kone2 in literary form. Those suffix words are called ကိန်းညွှန်းပစ္စည်း | kain3-hnyoon3 pyit-si3 meaning particles that indicate numbers. Depending on the writing style and the flow of the sentence, those particles may be omitted.

1. သွားကြလော့ | thwa3 ja1 lau1 — Be gone! [literary]
2. သွားကုန်၏ | thwa3 kone2 e1 — And, they are gone! [literary]
3. သွားကြကုန်၏ | thwa3 ja1 kone2 e1 — And, they are gone! [literary]
4. သူတို့ သွားပြီလား | thu2 doh1 thwa3 byi2 la3 — Have they gone? [colloquial]
   
   

The last example shows that ja1 can be omitted - မြှုပ်၍လည်း ရေးသားလေ့ရှိသည်။

(Also see noun-suffixed ကိန်းညွှန်းပစ္စည်း | kain3-hnyoon3 pyit-si3.)

§ 2. The second type of Burmese Verbs shows state, condition, event or occurrence. Sometimes those words simply state the nature of something or someone the way it is. Those are called ဖြစ်ခြင်းပြကြိယာ | pfyit-chin3 pya1 ka1-ri1-ya2. It's trickier than the first type.

Examples:

1. ထမင်း | hta1-min3 — rice (noun)
   
   ကျက် | kjet — cooked; done cooking (verb)
   
   ပြီ | byi2 — (postpositional marker)
   
   ထမင်းကျက်ပြီ | hta1-min3 kjet byi2 - The rice is cooked!
   
   kjet is the verb be cooked, but it must be followed by the postpositional marker byi2. This last word byi2 indicates that the event has taken place. This postpositional marker is further classified as ပစ္စုပ္ပန်ကာလပြ ကြိယာဝိဘတ် | pyit-soat-pan2 ka2-la1 pya1 ka1-ri1-ya2 we1-but — verb-suffix to show present tense.
   
   
2. မောင်ဘ | moun2-ba1 — Name of the person (noun)
   
   သည် | dthi2 — (postpositional marker that makes မောင်ဘ subject ကတ္တား | kut-ta3)
   
   မြန်မာ | myan2-ma2 — Burmese (noun)
   
   လူမျိုး | lu2-myo3 — ethnic group (noun)
   
   ဖြစ် | pfyit — second type of Myanmar (verb) "is" that shows state, condition, or occurrence.
   
   သည် | dthi2 — (Postpositional Marker in the literary form that can be further classified as either အတိတ်ကာလပြ ကြိယာဝိဘတ် | a-tate ka2-la1 pya1 ka1-ri1-ya2 we1-but — verb-suffix to show past tense or ပစ္စုပ္ပန်ကာလပြ ကြိယာဝိဘတ် | pyit-soat-pan2 ka2-la1 pya1 ka1-ri1-ya2 we1-but - verb-suffix to show present tense.)
   
   မောင်ဘသည် မြန်မာလူမျိုးဖြစ်သည်။ | moun2 ba1 dthi2 myan2-ma2 lu2-myo3 pfyit dthi2 — As for Maung Ba, he is a Burmese.
   
   Note that there are two dthi2 words. The first dthi2 makes Maung Ba a ကတ္တား | kut-ta3 or "subject" in active mode, as opposed to ကံ | kun2 or "object" that is acted upon by an action. If Maung Ba was kicked, he would have been an object. The ending word dthi2 shows that Maung Ba is either a living person in the present or someone in the past.
   
   
3. သူ | thu2 — he (pronoun)
   
   အသား | a-tha3 — complexion; skin color (noun)
   
   ဖြူ | pfyu2 — white; fair (adjective)
   
   ၏ | e1 — (postpositional marker in literary form)
   
   သူအသားဖြူ၏။ | thu2 a-tha3 pfyu2 e1 — He/she has fair skin.
   
   In this example, adjective ဖြူ | pfyu2 is modified into the verb of the second type (that shows something "is" the way it is) by the postpositional marker ၏ | e1. In translation, this last ending word seems to correspond to the verb "has" in English. It may be possible to take it as "has" in computer translation algorithms, but since it is not a verb in the Burmese Language, the logic will not be consistent and fail in some other sentence constructions.

§ 2.1. In literary form, the word ဖြစ်သတည်း | pfyit dtha1-de3 or just the final particle တည်း | de3 can be used to show something "is". Example:

သူ | thu2 — he (pronoun)

ကား | ga3 — indeed (particle for emphasis)

သူတော်ကောင်း | thu2-dau2-goun3 — morally upright person (noun)

တည်း | de3 — ending word to show that something or someone is the way it is (particle)

သူကား သူတော်ကောင်း တည်း | thu2 ga3 thu2-dau2-goun3 de3 — He is a saint, indeed!

§ 3. The third type of Burmese Verbs shows the presence or existence of something. Those are called ရှိခြင်းပြ ကြိယာ | shi1-chin3 pya1 ka1-ri1-ya2.

Example:

ရွှေတိဂုံဘုရား | shway2-da1-gome2 pfa1-ya3 — Shwedagon Pagoda (noun)

သည် | dthi2 — (postpositional marker that makes ရွှေတိဂုံဘုရား subject ကတ္တား | kut-ta3)

ရန်ကုန်မြို့ | yan2-gome2 myo1 — City of Yangon (noun)

၌ | hnite — (postpositional marker further classified as နေရာပြ ဝိဘတ် | nay2-ya2 pya1 we1-but that shows location)

တည်ရှိ | ti2 shi1 — exist; to be located (verb)

သည် | dthi2 — (postpositional marker)

ရွှေတိဂုံဘုရားသည် ရန်ကုန်မြို့၌ တည်ရှိသည် | shway2-da1-gome2 pfa1-ya3 dthi2 yan2-gome2 myo1 hnite ti2 shi1 dthi2 — Shwedagon Pagoda is located in Yangon.

§ 4. By sentence construction, verbs are also categorized into three types:

1. ပင်ကိုကြိယာ | pin2-go2 ka1-ri1-ya2 — words that describe the act. E.g., စား၊ ကစား၊ သွား၊ နား၊ | sa3, ga1-za3, thwa3, na3 - eat, play, go, rest, etc..
   
   
2. ဂုဏ်ရည်ပြကြိယာ | gome2-yay2-pya1 ka1-ri1-ya2 — words that show the quality. Those words are modified adjectives as shown in example 3 of § 2 above. English equivalent would be: "is red"; "is sweet" "is beautiful", etc.. Those are (verb + adjective) combination in English grammar.
   
   
3. ပေါင်းစပ်ကြိယာ | poun3-sut ka1-ri1-ya2 — words that combine two actions. E.g., sa3-thout - (eat + drink) or "to have a meal" (verb + verb) as a whole is taken as a verb. sa3-thout hsine2 (verb + verb + noun) refers to the restaurant (noun) meaning a shop where you eat and drink.

§ 5. A verb can be followed by an another verb. It is possible to combine more than two verbs, and up to six verbs one after another is still a good writing style in the literary Burmese sentences. Some of the usages give expressive animated actions of verbs in sequence that are unheard of in the English Language.

1. သွားနိုင်ပြီ | thwa3 nine2 byi2 — You can go now. (go + can + ending word)
2. စားကြည့်မယ် | sa3 kji1 meare2 — I will taste it. (eat + see + ending word)
3. မော့ကြည့်သည် | mau1 kji1 dthi2 — He looks up. (tilt the head up + look + ending word)
4. ကြွရောက်လာပြီ | kjwa1 yout la2 byi2 — A respectable person has arrived - (respectable person to come + arrive + commence + ending word) [formal]
5. လာရောက်တွေ့ဆုံဆွေးနွေး | la2-yout tway1-hsone2 hsway3-nway3 — come to meet and discuss (come + arrive + meet + discuss)

NOTE: Some of the verbs that follow verbs are taken as particles. In those cases, the verbs have lost their original stand alone meanings such as

နိုင် | nine2 — to win; have the capacity.

ကြည့် | kyi1 — to look with eyes.

Likewise, လာ | la2 in မိုးရွာလာပြီ | mo3 ywa2 la2 byi2 — does not mean "come" but gives the sense that the the rain has commenced. On the other hand, la2 in example 4 above is in the grey area, and perhaps la2 as a verb meaning "to come" is also acceptable.

§ 6. While English has just a question mark symbol, Burmese language has different types of question particles at the end of sentences. Question particles are called အမေးပစ္စည်း | a-may3 pyit-si3.

1. ထမင်း | hta1-min3 — rice (noun)
   
   ကျက် | kjet — cooked; done cooking (verb)
   
   ပြီ | byi2 — has reached certain state (postpositional marker)
   
   လား | la3 — (question particle)
   
   ထမင်းကျက်ပြီလား | hta1-min3 kjet byi2 la3 — Is rice cooked? [colloquial]
   
   
   
   
2. အဘယ် | a-beare2 — what/which/where (literary interrogative pronoun)
   
   ကြောင့် | joun1 — because of (postpositional marker)
   
   နည်း | ni3 — (question particle)
   
   အဘယ်ကြောင့်နည်း | a-beare2 joun1 ni3 — Why? Due to what reason? [literary]
   
   
   
3. ဘာ | ba2 — what (colloquial interrogative pronoun)
   
   ကြောင့် | joun1 — because of (postpositional marker)
   
   လဲ | leare2 — (question particle)
   
   ဘာကြောင့်လဲ | ba2 joun1 leare3 — Why? Due to what reason? [colloquial]
   
   
   
4. ဘယ်လို | beare2 lo2 — how (colloquial adverb)
   
   တုံး | dome3 — (question particle)
   
   ဘယ်လိုတုံး | beare2 lo2 dome3 — How's the situation? How did it go? [colloquial]
   
   
   
5. အသင် | a-thin2 — You (literary pronoun)
   
   လူ | lu2 — human (noun)
   
   လော | lau3 — (literary question particle)
   
   နတ် | nut — celestial being; spirit (noun)
   
   လော | lau3 — (literary question particle)
   
   အသင်လူလော၊ နတ်လော | a-thin2 lu2 lau3 nut lau3 — Are you a human, or an Angel?
   
   
6. ကျန်းမာ | kjan3-ma2 — be healthy
   
   ပါ | ba2 — polite word
   
   စ | sa1 — (literary question particle)
   
   ကျန်းမာပါစ | kjan3-ma2 ba2 sa1 - How's your health? Are you well?
   
   

§ 7. Words immediately after the verb that are used to express the verb in different ways are further classified as ကြိယာထောက်ပစ္စည်း | ka1-ri1-ya2 htout pyit-si3 meaning verb suffix (or support) particles. A support particle can be a particle, an another verb, or an adverb. (English grammar classification will not work here.) It is possible for a support particle to be followed by an another support particle. Those words are comparable to the following words in front of the verb "do" or "does" in English:

• can do
• should do
• seldom does
• want to do
• dare to do
