Verbs never change form — no conjugation
ເນື້ອໃນທີ່ຂຽນຂຶ້ນ · Authored content
The dictionary holds no grammar data, so this lesson is written rather than extracted. Each Lao line carries its provenance, and everything marked composed is a draft awaiting review by a Lao linguist.
In English you say: I eat, he eats, we ate, they have eaten. In Lao, the verb ກິນ never alters by even a single stroke. There is no past tense suffix, no third-person -s, no irregular stems, and no plural agreement.
Whether the subject is one person (ຂ້ອຍ), an elder (ເພິ່ນ), or a hundred people (ພວກເຂົາ), the verb remains steadfast.
