Häufige Fehler

Pronouns should come before the verb in simple sentences. Placing them after sounds unnatural.

Wrong: Ես տեսնում նրան (I see him - wrong order)
Richtig: Ես նրան տեսնում եմ (I see him)

Avoid translating 'each other' word-for-word. Use the standard Armenian term 'իրար'.

Wrong: Մենք սիրում ենք մեկը մյուսին (We love each other - literal translation)
Richtig: Մենք իրար սիրում ենք (We love each other)

Don't forget the auxiliary verb 'եմ' (am) at the end of the sentence!

Wrong: Ես ինձ սիրում (I love myself - missing verb)
Richtig: Ես ինձ սիրում եմ (I love myself)
