Book Description

Publication Date: January 27, 2001 | ISBN-10: 0700715304 | ISBN-13: 978-0700715305

Suffixes, prefixes and other bound forms play a prominent part in the grammar of Burmese/Myanmar: they carry almost all the grammatical information contained in a sentence. This dictionary is a comprehensive list and account of those grammatical forms, providing a much needed supplement to the standard Burmese-English dictionaries, where the grammatical forms receive scant attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for anyone studying Burmese, February 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Burmese (Myanmar) Dictionary of Grammatical Forms (Paperback)

This book is essential for anyone like myself struggling with the complexities of those pesky Burmese particles. It is comprehensive, accurate and well-laid-out. The examples are both numerous and well chosen, as well as aimed at users with different language requirements. Given the scarcity of other available resources, this book is simply a must. I hope that the authors will evetually produce a full grammar of Burmese in English, but until then, there is no substitute for this book. Definitely 5 stars.

This review is from: Burmese (Myanmar) Dictionary of Grammatical Forms (Paperback)

I used this resource to supplement my study while finishing my first year Burmese course. This book was quite useful to research the meaning of grammatical constructions since there are numerous combinations and possiblities that are not always easy to determine with a standard Myanmar-English dictionary.
