أخطاء شائعة

Even in short sentences, the first letter of the sentence must be capitalized.

Wrong: bul nan (lowercase)
صحيح: Bul nan. (capitalized)

Do not mix the question word 'ne' with the answer. Use 'ne' only when you don't know what the object is.

Wrong: Bul ne alma?
صحيح: Bul ne? (What is this?) or Bul alma. (This is an apple.)

Use 'Bul' for things you are holding or are very close to. 'Sol' is for things further away.
