To Eat စား

စား

This word consists of 2 parts. The first part is a consonant စ with the sound /sa/; and the second part is a vowel ာ /à/ that we already learnt.

Practice the 3 basic tones:

 

 

  • The "creaky tone", without the vowel, စ means to start.

 

 

  • The "low tone", စာ is related to knowledge.

 

 

  • The "high tone" စား  is used in this recording to mean eat.
