The -elik Shortcut

If you don't know the specific noun for an object, try adding -elik to the verb. It's a very productive way to describe 'a thing for [verb]'.

أخطاء شائعة

Standard compounds in Armenian use the linking vowel 'ա' and are written as one word, unlike reduplicated words which use hyphens.

Wrong: բազմա-բովանդակ (using a hyphen in standard compounds)
صحيح: բազմաբովանդակ

When adding suffixes like -ություն, internal vowels (like the 'ի' in գեղեցիկ) often drop out due to sound laws.

Wrong: գեղեցիկություն (keeping the adjective form before -ություն)
صحيح: գեղեցկություն

Verbs are rarely reduplicated in their infinitive form for emphasis; they usually take a specific morphological change or use adverbs.

Wrong: վազել-վազել (reduplicating the infinitive for emphasis)
صحيح: վազեվազ (runningly/in a hurry)

Next Steps
