The Big Letters

ការប្រើប្រាស់អក្សរធំ

In English, we use Capital Letters (A, B, C) for specific rules. Let's learn them!

ក្នុងភាសាអង់គ្លេស យើងប្រើអក្សរធំ (Capital Letters) ទៅតាមច្បាប់ត្រឹមត្រូវ។ តោះរៀនទាំងអស់គ្នា!
🏁

Rule 1: The Start 🏁

ផ្តើមប្រយោគ

Always use a big letter at the beginning of a sentence.

the cat is sleeping. ខុស (Wrong)
The cat is sleeping. ត្រូវ (Correct) ✔️
🙋‍♂️

Rule 2: The "I" 🙋‍♂️

ពាក្យ "ខ្ញុំ" (I)

The word I is always a BIG letter. Even in the middle!

Sokha and i are friends. ខុស (Wrong)
Sokha and I are friends. ត្រូវ (Correct) ✔️
📛

Rule 3: Names 📛

ឈ្មោះមនុស្ស និងទីកន្លែង

Names of people, cities, and countries need a BIG letter.

dara lives in cambodia. ខុស (Wrong)
Dara lives in Cambodia. ត្រូវ (Correct) ✔️
The Middle Trap! ⚠️

Don't use big letters for normal words inside the sentence!

(កុំប្រើអក្សរធំនៅកណ្តាលប្រយោគ លើកលែងតែវាជាឈ្មោះ ឬពាក្យ "I"។)
I eat an Apple. ❌
I eat an apple. ✔️

Great question! Yes! Days of the week (Monday, Tuesday) and Months (January, February) are treated like "names". So they ALWAYS need a Big Letter! 🌟
