As with many languages, the Burmese language follows a typical Subject Object Verb pattern. Numbers always follow the nouns, although there are several pronunciation rules that are to do with changes in tone and vocal shifts. Exploring Burmese numerals independently is necessary when getting to grips with the Burmese language itself.
Pronouns vary according to whoever is being spoken to, with specific emphasis being made on the gender and status of the audience. Adjectives, conversely, barely exist within the Burmese language. Instead, verbs are used that carry much more meaning by way of the grammatical particle, or by forming a compound with the noun in question. This fascinating aspect to the language is not quite unique to the Burmese language, but is certainly not very common.
Verbs in the Burmese language are packed with information, and use a variety of suffixes to convey tense, intention, politeness, mood, etc. There are a fantastic 449 particles in the Burmese language. There is only one grammatical situation in which you will not need to attach a particle to a verb, and this is when you are using imperative commands. The root of the verb, however, will always remain unchanged.
