Review Summary
- Pronoun (Ön/Maga) + 3rd person singular verb
اشتباهات رایج
You used the second-person verb conjugation (mész) instead of the third-person (megy) required for formal 'Maga'.
You mixed the plural pronoun 'Önök' with the singular verb conjugation. Keep the pronoun and verb number consistent.
Again, the verb must match the third-person formal pronoun 'Ön'. 'Vagy' is informal.
