Tricky grammar question
Tricky grammar question
I've been searching through everything I have, but I can't find an answer.
In English, it is common to use two comparatives in one statement such as " The harder you study, the easier it gets." or even just by using 'more' as in " The more you study, the more you learn.
Does anyone know the Khmer version of this, if one exists ?
Could you please post the answer in Khmer script as it's the only way to really know the pronunciation.
Thanks

If you need it in Khmer script, why don't you use Google translate? For simple constructions like this is more or less flawless.bobsboots wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 4:14 pm I've been searching through everything I have, but I can't find an answer.

For instance try: "the more the merrier" and Google comes up with the correct Khmer construct in both Khmer and Latin script.
