The Word នៅ​​​ and Propositions in Khmer

When talking about where someone or something is situated, the verb “To be” is replaced by the word នៅ. 

Also, the word នៅ​ is commonly formed with preposition such as ក្នុង​ “in”, លើ “on”, ក្រោម “under”​, មុខ “in front of” and ក្រោយ “behind”.

Example:

1. ខ្ញុំនៅក្នុងបន្ទប់គេងរបស់ខ្ញុំ។ “I am in my bedroom.”
2. សៀវភៅរបស់គាត់នៅលើ​តុ។ “His book is on the table.”

The Verb ជិះ

The verb ជិះ “to ride” is used with a number of nouns to describe movement from one place to another on an animal or vehicle.

Example:

1. ជិះម៉ូតូ “ride a motorbike”

The Question Word “How Much?” in Khmer

The question word យកប៉ុន្មាន? and ថ្លៃប៉ុន្មាន are interchangeably used to bargaining the price.

The Word ម៉េះ

The word ម៉េះ​ meaning “this much” is the informal word of ម៉្លេះ​.  This word is often used with ថ្លៃ and ច្រើន as in ម៉េចថ្លៃម៉េះ?​ “why so expensive?” and ម៉េចច្រើនម៉េះ “why so much/why so many?”.

The Pattern …បានទេ?

The pattern …បានទេ? is used to bargaining the price.

Example:

1. ៥ដុល្លាបានទេ? “Can you do it for 5 dollar?”
2. ចុះថ្លៃបន្តិចបានទេ? “Can you lower the price a little bit?”

Drag and Drop Descriptive Drop Zones

(For Intermediate Arabic I… and more?)

From a reviewer: “H5P drag and drop exercises [MARY: it is actually drag the words exercises], the drop zone do not include any type of description other than announcing Drop Zone 1, Drop Zone 2, etc. when using a screen reader. An accessible list of drop zone areas should be provided for screen reader users. It would also be useful to have instructions on how to interact with the exercise if using keyboard and/or screen reader.”

Possible Solution: Include Plaintext Version of Exercise

There are a host of other issues with this drag the words activity reported by other reviewers:

• Once a term has been selected, the user is unable to navigate through the blank spaces and is stuck with only the first blank space to drop terms in.
• If the user tries to place the term in other blank spaces, the term actually becomes unselected. This problem is apparent with using both Tab and arrow keys in NVDA.
• Also, It is extremely difficult to navigate through the answer pool to select an answer (a lot of the time the focus just skips one or many options)
• Some of the blanks are skipped or all in some cases.
• Using the left and right arrows works but is severely inaccessible when there is a large paragraph with many blanks.

Perhaps it would be best to instead include a plain text version until we can reach out to H5P? This can be under a dropdown or visually hidden from sighted users. Otherwise, I’m not sure what a good descriptive label for drop zones would be and would need guidance to determine that.
