Review Summary

  • Noun (base) + ending (-ā, -ē, -ī, -u)

أخطاء شائعة

You don't need a preposition like 'uz' (on/at) because the Locative case ending already implies location.

Wrong: Es esmu uz mājā.
صحيح: Es esmu mājā.

You used the Dative case instead of the Locative. Remember, location ends in -ā.

Wrong: Es esmu mājai.
صحيح: Es esmu mājā.

This sounds like Genitive (of the school). Use the Locative ending -ā.

Wrong: Es esmu skolas.
صحيح: Es esmu skolā.
