Possession — juxtaposition and ຂອງ
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 Lao, possession can be shown in two ways: by direct juxtaposition ([Item] + [Owner], e.g. ເຮືອນຂ້ອຍ = my house), or explicitly by inserting ຂອງ (*khong* = of/belonging to).
Both are correct; ຂອງ adds emphasis or clarity in longer compound phrases.
