Spaces

@Angr Hi. I meant to ask you a long time ago but there is a good example in this entry. What is the purpose of spaces in usexes? I noticed spaces in several of your usage examples. I know Burmese example sentences with the default transliteration are hard to read and look horrible but is there a rule? --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 10:33, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

@Atitarev: Burmese isn't like Chinese and Japanese; it's written with spaces between the words. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:38, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

@Angr I see, thanks. The spaces are often between groups of words, including particles. In my books they use spaces but I thought were using them to make learning easier. I'll have to do some corrections now ...--Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 11:06, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

@Angr, Wyang "ဘယ်လိုခေါ်သလဲ" is used much more frequently than "ဘယ်လို ခေါ်သလဲ". Are there any rules? BTW, Thai, Lao and Khmer, don't use spaces. That's why the mistake. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 11:18, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Thai does use spaces, although they are generally not for separating words, and the rules for spacing are very complex. Wyang (talk) 12:15, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, Thai spaces are for separating sentences or clauses, not 100% sure. I mistakenly thought Burmese rules were similarly to Thai. It's easy to make this mistake seeing how many types of words are joined together. Some Thai books use extra spaces to make learning easier. Burmese spacing doesn't seem very consistent either but I noticed the same with Korean. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 12:28, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
