Häufige Fehler

You added a question particle to a negative statement incorrectly. Only use one or the other unless asking a negative question.

Wrong: Men kelmaymanmi?
Richtig: Men kelmayman.

The particle 'mi' should be attached directly to the verb without a space.

Wrong: Sen o'qiysan mi?
Richtig: Sen o'qiysanmi?

The negation suffix '-ma' must come before the person ending, not after.

Wrong: Men yozamanma.
Richtig: Men yozmayman.
