Review Summary
- u + verb root + conjugation
Errores comunes
You must include the 'u-' prefix to indicate the action is for someone else; otherwise, it sounds like you are just buying the book.
Standard verb conjugation is insufficient here; the benefactive 'u-' is required when an indirect object is present.
While 'ჩემთვის' is grammatically okay, the 'u-' prefix (mi- in 1st person) is the more natural, idiomatic way to express this.
