اشتباهات رایج

These letters look similar to the untrained eye. Բ has a more rounded top, while Դ has a distinct vertical line and tail.

Wrong: Confusing Բ (B) and Դ (D)
صحیح: Բ is 'B', Դ is 'D'

Learners often mistake Ը for a high vowel, but it is actually a neutral mid-vowel.

Wrong: Pronouncing Ը as 'ee'
صحیح: Ը is a schwa sound (like 'u' in 'sun')

Because the script looks exotic, some learners confuse it with Semitic scripts like Arabic or Hebrew.

Wrong: Writing letters right-to-left
صحیح: Always write left-to-right
