Plural Possession

កម្មសិទ្ធិពហុវចនៈ (ច្រើននាក់)

For plural nouns that end in "s", we just add an apostrophe ' at the end.

នៅពេលយើងចង់បង្ហាញពីកម្មសិទ្ធិរបស់មនុស្សច្រើននាក់ (នាមពហុវចនៈដែលបញ្ចប់ដោយអក្សរ s) យើងគ្រាន់តែថែមសញ្ញា ' នៅខាងចុងជាការស្រេច។

warning Irregular Plurals! ⚠️

If the word doesn't end in 's', use 's normally.

(បើពាក្យនោះជាពហុវចនៈ តែមិនបញ្ចប់ដោយអក្សរ s យើងត្រូវប្រើ 's ធម្មតា!)

Teacher, how do I pronounce "students'" compared to "student's"? Is there an extra 's' sound?

Hi Sokha! Good question. Actually, they sound exactly the same! You don't add an extra 's' sound. You only know the difference from the context of the conversation or how it looks when written down. 🗣️

What about the word "boss"? How do I show something belongs to many bosses?

First, you make "boss" plural, which is "bosses". Since it ends in an 's', you just add the apostrophe at the very end! Like this: "The bosses' meeting". 🏢
