اشتباهات رایج

Namaskara is a standalone greeting. Adding 'you' is unnecessary.

صحیح: Namaskara

Nanu means 'I', but you need the possessive 'Nanna' (my) for 'my name'.

Wrong: Nanu hesaru John
صحیح: Nanna hesaru John

The verb form 'Hegiddira' already implies the pronoun 'you'.

Wrong: Hegiddira me?
صحیح: Hegiddira?
