  • Noun + ում

Häufige Fehler

You must add the suffix to indicate location. Without it, the sentence is incomplete.

Wrong: Ես ապրում եմ Երևան.
Richtig: Ես ապրում եմ Երևանում.

Common nouns like 'house' have irregular stems. 'Տուն' becomes 'տան' before adding the ending.

Wrong: Տունում.
Richtig: Տանը.

When using a postposition like 'մոտ', you need the Genitive case on the preceding noun.

Wrong: Ես աշխատում եմ դպրոց մոտ.
Richtig: Ես աշխատում եմ դպրոցի մոտ.
