Review Summary

  • Noun + -ից

Errores comunes

You forgot the Ablative suffix. Without -ից, it sounds like you are going to the city, not coming from it.

Wrong: Ես գալիս եմ Երևան.
Correcto: Ես գալիս եմ Երևանից.

In Armenian, we prefer using the Ablative pronoun (ինձնից) rather than just the nominative 'ես' after 'քան'.

Wrong: Նա մեծ է քան ես.
Correcto: Նա ինձնից մեծ է.

When attaching the Ablative suffix to personal pronouns, you must include the connective 'ր' or 'ն'.

Wrong: Ես ստանում եմ նաից.
Correcto: Ես ստանում եմ նրանից.
