សព្វនាមឈ្នាប់កម្រិតខ្ពស់ (Whose & Whom)

Today we will learn how to connect sentences using Whose (for possession) and Whom (as an object).

ថ្ងៃនេះយើងនឹងរៀនពីរបៀបភ្ជាប់ប្រយោគ ដោយប្រើ "Whose" (បញ្ជាក់កម្មសិទ្ធិ) និង "Whom" (ដើរតួជាកម្មបទ)។ នេះគឺជាវេយ្យាករណ៍កម្រិតខ្ពស់ដែលធ្វើឲ្យភាសាអង់គ្លេសរបស់អ្នកកាន់តែពីរោះ!

vpn_key Using "Whose"

ប្រើសម្រាប់បញ្ជាក់កម្មសិទ្ធិ (របស់នរណាម្នាក់)

"Whose" replaces his, her, its, or their. It goes between two nouns.

That is the man whose car was stolen. នោះហើយជាបុរសដែលឡានរបស់គាត់ត្រូវបានគេលួច។
I know a girl whose father is a pilot. ខ្ញុំស្គាល់ក្មេងស្រីម្នាក់ ដែលប៉ារបស់នាងជាអ្នកបើកយន្តហោះ។

person_search Using "Whom"

ប្រើជំនួសឲ្យកម្មបទ (Object)

"Whom" is formal. It replaces an object pronoun like him, her, or them.

She is the woman whom I met yesterday. នាងគឺជាស្ត្រីដែលខ្ញុំបានជួបកាលពីម្សិលមិញ។
The manager whom I emailed is busy. អ្នកគ្រប់គ្រងដែលខ្ញុំបានផ្ញើអ៊ីមែលទៅ គឺរវល់។
edit_document

edit_document Prepositions + Whom

ប្រើជាមួយធ្នាក់ (to, with, for)

In very formal English, the preposition goes directly before "whom".

The person to whom I spoke was polite. បុគ្គលដែលខ្ញុំបាននិយាយជាមួយ គឺមានសុជីវធម៌។
The client with whom we work is here. អតិថិជនដែលយើងធ្វើការជាមួយ កំពុងនៅទីនេះ។
warning The He/Him Trick!

Who or Whom?

(បើមិនច្បាស់ថាត្រូវប្រើ Who ឬ Whom សាកល្បងឆ្លើយសំនួរនោះជាមួយ He ឬ Him មើល!)
If you answer with HE ➔ Use WHO.
"Who did this?" ➔ "HE did this."
If you answer with HIM ➔ Use WHOM.
"Whom did you invite?" ➔ "I invited HIM."

Teacher, do people actually use "whom" in real life? It sounds weird when I talk to my friends.

Hi Makara! Honestly, in casual speaking, native speakers very rarely use "whom". They usually just say "who" (e.g., "Who did you call?"). BUT, if you are taking an exam (like IELTS), writing a formal email to a boss, or writing an academic essay, you absolutely must know how to use "whom". It shows you have an advanced level of English! 🎓

Can I use "whose" for things? Or is it only for people?

Yes, you can absolutely use "whose" for things! For example: "The book whose cover is torn is mine." Even though a book isn't a person, "whose" acts as the possessive link. Great question! 📖
