Review Summary

  • Verb stem + -di + personal suffix

Häufige Fehler

You should remove the infinitive suffix (-moq) before adding the past tense ending. Always attach the suffix directly to the stem.

Wrong: Men bormoqdi.
Richtig: Men bordim.

You forgot to match the personal suffix with 'Biz'. 'Biz' requires the 'k' ending.

Wrong: Biz bordi.
Richtig: Biz bordik.

While 'yedilar' is correct, note that for 'Ular', you can sometimes drop the plural suffix if the context is clear, but keeping it is safer for learners.

Wrong: Ular yedilar.
Richtig: Ular yedi (or yedilar).
