The key takeaways are that this is a draft dictionary of Burmese that aims to include many new words entering the language and help language learners. It contains features like synonyms, antonyms, examples and explanations to aid understanding.

This dictionary is intended to assist communication by including as many new words entering the Burmese language as possible from contemporary sources. It is made with language learners in mind.

This dictionary contains features to help language learners such as synonyms, antonyms, count words, groupings of related words, explanations of usage including common confusions, translated examples and definitions, and inclusion of proverbs and expressions.

P e a c o c k ®mn\ma _ E n g l i s h D i c t i o n a r y

a work in progress by Aung Soe Min and Nance Cunningham

Note o n t h is dr aft: This is still a very rough draft, with many entries only partially checked or examined, and
plenty of typing and spelling errors waiting to be corrected. In addition, there is a persistent feature of the
software used that misplaces the second pronunciation when there is one. This will be corrected only in the
final draft. Similarly, the = entry should come before Syn/Ant/cf, but we have not moved them for the draft.
We welcome all comment&particularly want to know two things:
Should we put pronunciation in Bse script as well?
Should we mark all split verbs, or only those which are not obviously noun-verb compounds?
Should we mark them in the entry word, or within the pronunciation?

Why this new dictionary?

Starting toward the end of the 20th century, the Burmese language has gained many new words,
reflecting a newly intensified exposure to international political, economic, and social concepts
(e.g., eZ;kXk\s^;pXa;er; market economy). Many writers and scholars are still defining these new
concepts, and searching for the words to convey them. Some of the new words have not firmly
entered the common vocabulary yet, and some will undoubtedly be superseded. However, the
intention of the compilers is to include as many new words that may be found in contemporary
books and magazines as possible. As an excellent scholarly dictionary is widely available, we have
excluded archaic and obsolete words which are not found in well-known sayings or proverbs, in satire, or
in popular historical writing.

This dictionary is made with the language learner in mind. For example:

Ø it contains many synonyms, antonyms, count words, and groupings of related words.
Ø there are explanations of usage, including notes about common confusions and pitfalls for both
native speakers of Burmese in English, and for Burmese language learners
Ø all examples are translated, as are many references and antonyms
Ø definitions are given under non-standard forms (along with a reference to the currently accepted
form), eliminating the need to look up a word in two places
Ø many proverbs, sayings, and expressions have been included, with similar English phrases where
found, or translation and indication of the usual meaning. They are listed under the first main
word, i.e., AKulk\Pmiu; AKulk\Pwå; would be found under lk\Pmiu;

Definitions are given in simple English wherever possible. Easily misunderstood terms are avoided in the
definitions as far as possible, or explained (e.g., 'lover' is not the first definition of K¥s\q¨' Riu; is usually
'honest, upright', not 'simple', rc\;Nx^; is usually 'close' rather than 'intimate'). Words that have become or
remained common among English language learners, but which are not currently used the same way
among native English speakers are pointed out (e.g., 'my native' for 'my hometown'; 'generation' for
'descendents').

Examples are almost all in spoken style, and are mainly from everyday usage that is helpful to the
beginner. The exceptions are examples of words used mainly in a literary context. All examples are
translated. Where necessary, translations include more than is explicit in the example. For example,
ka;s^;my\" could mean I'll go by car. or I'm taking the bus. or I'm going to travel by coach. m”kiok\B¨;"
could mean I don't like you. or They don't like me. or She doesn't like it. and so on. Occasionally more
than one translation is given, mainly where there is an English idiom to point out.

The purpose of this bilingual dictionary is not to prescribe correct spelling or preserve original usage, but
to assist communication. If a word is used 'wrongly' (e.g., eBa\då from the English 'boarder', now more
often heard as 'friend, mate'), both original and current definitions will be given. However, when an
English word has been used differently than in English, the original word is shown only in brackets, e.g.,
piuka n variation of rummy [Engl poker]

Many words are duplicated under older spellings, to allow readers of pre-1986 materials ease of use, and
to allow forgetful Myanmar users to find words quickly. Such words contain a reference to the current
spelling (e.g., kutc\ªKutc\, Binp\ªPinp\).

Organisation of dictionary and definition:


Ø Currently, spelling book order, later will move _M out of the vowels
Ø Pali words, often hard to find, have a separate table in the back, with page numbers
Ø also in the back is a list of words which start with a syllable that is spelled differently than it is
pronounced, to help foreign users find words they hear but can't find, e.g., tMta;
Ø derived words are listed under the main syllable, e.g., tsXt\sXt\ is under sXt\ as well as under t
Ø parts of a headword in (round) brackets are parts that can be put in or left out with no change
of meaning, e.g., Tiunv\;(A)t¨(sXa) means Tiunv\; t¨ and Tiunv\; t¨sXa and Tiunv\; At¨ and Tiunv\;At¨sXa are
all the same
Ø words in a definition with (round) brackets are ones that show the context that a word is used
in, or can be put in or left out without changing the meaning. These are mainly in two cases:
o where one language is more specific, e.g., {na;kXc\; (hoop) earring}, where in English
only 'earring' would be enough, but 'hoop' could be added if the distinction was
important;
o where a word is used in only one or very few contexts, e.g., {pn\;Siu; dye (cloth, clothing,
etc)} i.e., not dye hair
Ø Highly regular derivations are not given, unless there is a specific English word to add, i.e.,
qrk\ is defined as mango, and qrk\pc\ (mango tree), qrk\rXk\ (mango leaf), qrk\yiu
(candied mango) qrk\q^; (mango (fruit)) are not given, as these are the same for every
tree, leaf, etc.
o However, in cases such as nMnM where English has a different word for the plant or seed
(coriander) and the leaf (cilantro (Am)), an entry for the word is included
o qrk\q^;qnp\ (mango pickle) and qrk\rXk\ (spleen) will also be defined

Peacoc k Dicti onar y Intr o page 2


Ø symbols or remarks before the English word show an aspect of the Myanmar word that is not
reflected in the English, e.g., {dka ‹µ donor, sponsor} where the word is specific to
Buddhism and male in Myanmar, but is general in English.
Ø symbols or remarks after the word show a division of the meaning in English, e.g., {ska;pMu
proverb, saying; old saw (neg)} where the Myanmar word is neutral, but a negative attitude can
be expressed (by the last word) in English; {®mc\;kel; foal, colt µ, filly ƒ} where there are
general and specific words in common use in English, but not in Myanmar, {Rup\eK¥a pretty ƒ,
handsome µ} where the Myanmar word is general, but in English, one is typically used for girls
and women, another for men
Ø verbs which split when negated (mainly but not entirely actually noun-verb combinations… but
very few are marked yet in this draft!) are marked as follows: na;ºlv\

Many words, like ”k^;' n^' ekac\; can be used like English verbs, but can also combine with and modify
other words, as in qs\pc\”k^;' wn\”k^;' qa;”k^; Despite the various forms which can modify nouns,
fundamentally ”k^; is a verb in Burmese – but the functions of a verb are wider in Burmese than in
English, and overlap with English adjectives. Verbs will not be double-listed under both parts of speech.

[The Intro will also include some general explanations about a few common transformations in Bse:
Ø un/aspirated pairs, e.g., PXc\. and pXc\.
Ø creaky tone for possessive, and some other situations
Ø pairs with A - that can be substituted e.g., AsAn, ÚsÚn to lk\slk\n' As^;Anc\; bad
influence (in astrology), to “gioh\s^;“gioh\nc\; bad influence of a planet. Aer;Ara matters, affairs
ss\er;ss\ra military affairs ®pv\er;®pv\ra politics. Every possible combination cannot be
covered, but the more common ones are included in the entries, and the basic form is shown in
its entry
Ø all words beginning with A- alone as the first syllable will be included throughout the dictionary
as though they did not have an initial A- (as well as in the A - section)
Ø repetition Asit\ to Asit\sit\
Ø abbreviations such as e_aM for e_ak\' j for erX>
