NOTES

1) Two things may be equal or unequal as far as some quality (goodness, etc.) is concerned consequently, there are in language, constructions that may be labeled 'Comparison of Equality' and 'Comparison of Inequality'.

(a) The Comparison of Inequality construction in Lao is. NP 1 + Vs + + NP 2

(This house pretty more that one) 'This house is prettier than that one.' (b) The Comparison of Equality construction is: NP 1 + Vs + + NP 2 (This car old equal to that one.) 'This car is as old as that one'. When the stative verb refers to 'size', may replace in construction like the one above: 'This car is as big as that one.' The stative verb may be replaced by V + adverb in either of the constructions above: 'This car runs faster than that one.' 'This car runs as fast as that one.'

'Which of these three performers is the prettiest?'

NOTES 1) means 'to be used up'. It is used to indicate that the supply of something is exhausted:

' The fish sauce is all gone.' When precedes it indicates that the supply is nearly used up.

The manner in which something was consumed can be indicated by putting a verb before :'eaten up', etc.

2) is used to indicate that something remains from an amount that was originally set-aside for

some special purpose. Observe the use of in sentences: 'I have two books left.' (to me still remains book 2) (of the ones I brought back from Germany.)

The classifier phrase indicating the amount is not immediately next to its NP but follows 3) is used to indicate that a certain situation still continues to exist. It may be used

without but with some difference in meaning. Compare: 'We still have bananas.' (There's no need to buy any more). 'We still have bananas (left over from making a banana cake).'

NOTES (for Cycles 48, 49, 50)

1) When is used with abstract Nouns like 'will, spirit', it refers to an absence or

lack of something. 'to be discouraged', 'to have no hope', 'to be no longer under punishment'.

2) is a nominalizer, i. e. when it is placed before VP, the VP is changed into NP; + VP = NP 'to be concerned' 'worry, concern' The nouns formed in this manner are all Abstract Nouns. 3) means 'to still have one's mind on (doing something) or 'not to have given

up the idea of (doing something)'.

'He hasn't given up the idea of being a farmer yet.' 4) after VP indicates 'mutuality' or 'reciprocity' in an action; it functions somewhat like a reflexive

pronoun (myself, himself, etc.) in English: 'They still dislike each other.' 5) When occurs before certain VP, it functions somewhat like be in the passive in English:

'He is still locked up.' 'His car has already been stolen

usually occurs before verbs , such as 'to lock up', 'fire burn up', ”to praise”, etc. Most verbs such as etc. may occur with either 'active' or 'passive' meaning, thus 'to sell' or 'to be sold', etc.

6) (lit. 'since a long time already') 'a long time ago' is used to indicate that situation has

been in effect for some time. 'He left the military service a long time ago'. 7) means 'to do any kind of work.' means 'to have work to do,

to have a job.' means 'to be free of work'. It has nothing to do with employment. means 'to be tied up in, or very much involved in your job or work.’ 'means 'to be out of a job, unemployed'.

8) means 'debt'. Person means 'to be indebted to a person'. means 'to pay off debts'.

APPLICATION 1) Complete the following sentences using the English as a guide:

(a) _________ (He's out of patience.)

NOTES

1) The request form in Lao is the Verb phase without NP (subject): 'Go eat!'

The request may be softened by putting (Lit. 'kindness') 'please' before NP, 'Please speak slower' or by putting after VP:

'Walk faster, please.' 2) The negative request form is: 'don't' + VP: 'Don't eat too much.' This request

form may also be softened by putting before it: 'Please don't block the way.'

3) In written Lao 'It is forbidden to' is normally used. One sometimes sees signs like this:

'No Smoking'. is rarely used in spoken Lao in this construction.

NOTES

1) In English Verb Phrases of Purpose may be joined to other VP by to, as in: NP + VP + to - VP (Purpose) He brought chicken to sell. Compare this with Lao: NP + VP + VP (Purpose) He brought chicken (to) sell.' 2) means 'to enter the Buddhist priesthood'. All young Lao men of the Buddhist religion

are supposed to spend some period of time during their lives living as monks in a monastery. One's head is shaved and all worldly possessions are given away before entry.

3) A is a temple fair. Each temple has at least one a year as an occasion for

reading certain Buddhist scriptures and also as a means of raising money to take care of temple needs. Many kinds of amusements (dances, songs, games, etc.) and many kinds of food are available.

{

'He will drive from Vientiane to Luang Prabang.'

Frequently the means of transportation is indicated in constructions of this type ( etc.).

{

'They will build a road from this village to that village' The reference is usually to a known goal or limit.

NOTES

1) Words which occur in the position between NO (Subject) and MV are called 'preverbs'. One of the most important groups of preverbs are the 'modals': . Each of these words is used in a wide range of situations, and there is some overlap in their usage in Lao. It is, therefore, difficult to indicate their meaning briefly.The following description is meant as a general guide only.The only good way to learn how to use them is to observe the situations in which Lao speakers use each them and to imitate their usage. (a) () 'm, have to'. The situation requires it. 'We have to pay our electric bill.' (b) 'should, ought to'. Social or normal obligation or expectation. 'You shouldn't eat too much. (c) 'may, might'. 'Likelihood, expectation, possibility.'

1) + VP is used to indicate that someone has experienced something. 'I have been to Laos.' ? 'Have you ever had a cold?' 2) + VP corresponds roughly to the passive in English. It occurs only with a very limited numbers of verbs, most of which have unpleasant connotations. ?? 'Were you criticized?' If an Agent is indicated, it occurs after before VP: (He was by a policeman arrested) 'He was arrested by the policeman.' 3) The two constructions above frequently occur together: ? 'Have you ever been locked up?'
