be about to (do something) – to be on the point of doing something (တစ္ခုခုၿပဳလုပ္ခါနီး)

I was about to leave when the phone rang.  ဖုန္းၿမည္ခဲ့တဲ့အခ်ိန္မွာ က်ေနာ္ထြက္ခြာခါနီးေလးပဲ။

according to (someone or something) – as said or told by someone, in agreement with something, in the order of something (တစ္ဦးတစ္ေယာက္ေၿပာသည့္အတိုင္း၊ တစ္ခုခုမွာ သေတာတူမွဳကိုၿပၿခင္း၊ တစ္ခုခုအရ။)

According to our teacher, there will be no class next week. ငါတို႕ဆရာေၿပာပံုအရေတာ့္ ေနာက္တစ္ပတ္အတန္းမရိွဘူး။
We did everything according to the terms of our agreement. ငါတို႕လုပ္ခဲ့သည့္အရာမွန္သမွ်ဟာ သေဘာတူညီမွဳအတိုင္းၿပဳလုပ္တာပါ။

account for (something) – to provide an explanation or answer for something (တစ္ခုခုအတြက္ ရွင္းလင္းခ်က္ေပးတာ၊ အေၿဖေပးတာ)

The bad weather accounts for the fact that few people came to the meeting. အစည္းအေဝးကို လူအနည္းစုသာလာခဲ့တယ္ဆိုတာ ဆိုးရြားတဲ့ရာသီဥတုေၾကာင့္ဆုိတာသိသာပါတယ္။

after all – considering the fact that something happened, something that is usually assumed (တစ္ခုခုၿဖစ္ခဲ့သည့္အေၾကာင္း၊ ယူဆထားေသာအေၾကာင္းအခ်က္တစ္ခုခုကို စဥ္းစားေတြးေတာၿခင္း။)

“You don’t need to phone him. After all, he never phones you.” နင္သူ႕ကိုဖုန္းေခၚစရာမလုိပါဘူး။ စဥ္းစားလိုက္ရင္ သူကနင့္ကိုဘယ္ေတာ့္မွဖုန္းေခၚတာရယ္လို႕မရိွဘူး။
