Häufige Fehler
You missed the genitive suffix. Without -utaiya, it sounds like 'boy book' instead of 'boy's book'.
Do not double-suffix pronouns that already contain the genitive marker. 'Enatu' is already possessive.
Using the base pronoun 'she' instead of the possessive form 'her'. Always add -utaiya to identify ownership.
