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.
