Understanding Khmer Grammar in Translation
Khmer has distinct grammatical features compared to Vietnamese, especially in the use of nouns, verbs, and sentence structures. Understanding these elements helps make the translation process more accurate and natural.
1. Nouns and objects in Khmer when translated into Vietnamese
Khmer does not distinguish gender (like French or German nouns). This language also does not have a fixed plural form; instead, quantity is understood through quantity words or context. Notably, a noun in Khmer can have multiple meanings depending on its usage in a sentence.
Example: អង្គរ (Angkor)
- អង្គរ (Angkor) → “Angkor Temple” when referring to a place name.
- អង្គរ (Angkor) → “Angkor Dynasty” when talking about history.

2. Verbs and Tenses in Khmer
Khmer does not have a verb conjugation system based on tenses like English or French. Instead, the time of the action is expressed through time words such as "yesterday" (ម្សិលមិញ – mseul minh), "today" (ថ្ងៃនេះ – thngai nih), and "tomorrow" (ស្អែក – saek). Additionally, some auxiliary verbs can be used to emphasize the time of the action in a sentence.
Example:
- ខ្ញុំអានសៀវភៅ (khnhom aan sievphov) → "I read a book" (present).
- ខ្ញុំបានអានសៀវភៅ (khnhom ban aan sievphov) → "I read a book" (past).
3. Sentence Structure and Word Order in Khmer
Sentences in Khmer typically follow the structure Subject – Verb – Object (SVO), similar to Vietnamese. However, in some cases, the word order may be changed to emphasize the subject or the action, helping to convey meaning more clearly and naturally in communication.
Example:
- ខ្ញុំអានសៀវភៅ (khnhom aan sievphov) → "I read a book" (present).
- ខ្ញុំបានអានសៀវភៅ (khnhom ban aan sievphov) → "I read a book" (past).
How to Translate Basic Khmer Sentences into Vietnamese
When translating sentences from Khmer to Vietnamese, it is important to preserve the meaning and ensure the translated sentence is coherent. Depending on the type of sentence, the translation can be straightforward or require structural adjustments to fit Vietnamese grammar and expression style. Below are some specific examples:
1. Translating simple sentences from Khmer to Vietnamese
Simple sentences in Khmer often have a structure similar to Vietnamese, making the translation process simpler.
- Khmer: «ខ្ញុំសុខសប្បាយ»
- Vietnamese: “Tôi khỏe.”

2. Translating Complex Sentences
Complex sentences in Khmer often use conjunctions to connect clauses, and care must be taken during translation to ensure naturalness.
- Khmer: «បើអ្នកចង់រៀនភាសាខ្មែរ អ្នកត្រូវហ្វឹកហាត់រាល់ថ្ងៃ»
- Vietnamese: “Nếu bạn muốn học tiếng Khmer, bạn cần luyện tập mỗi ngày.”
3. Translating Official Documents
When translating administrative documents, contracts, or notices, it is important to use formal and precise language.
- Khmer: «សូមផ្តល់ព័ត៌មានរបស់អ្នកដល់បុគ្គលិកទទួលបន្ទុក»
- Vietnamese: “Vui lòng cung cấp thông tin của bạn cho nhân viên phụ trách.”
Translating from Khmer to Vietnamese not only requires accuracy in vocabulary but also ensures smooth, easy-to-understand sentences. For specialized documents or important texts, it is recommended to use professional translation services to ensure the best quality.
