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.

Format:Paperback
This book is definitely THE most useful reference book I have come across while studying Burmese language and in particular when translating Burmese into English. Burmese language is characterized by its high number of small grammar particles, which often cannot be found in Burmese/English dictionaries and yet which are crucial to understanding the sentence or its nuances. Not only does this book provide definitions for almost all of these grammar particles but is also provides examples taken from both classical/literary sources as well as from contemporary and spoken style sources.

Essential for anyone studying Burmese
19 Feb 2004
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format: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.

A Fantastic Resource
27 May 2007
By Ko Thi Ha
- Published on Amazon.com
Format: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.
