اشتباهات رایج

You used the wrong vowel harmony. 'Och' has a back vowel, so it must use 'a/o' based suffixes.

Wrong: Би очсөн.
صحیح: Би очсон.

You forgot to add the suffix to indicate past tense. Without it, the verb remains in the infinitive or present form.

Wrong: Тэр унш.
صحیح: Тэр уншсан.

You mixed up vowel harmony rules. 'Üz' uses front vowels, which require 'ö/ü' suffixes, but 'ü' is neutral-leaning; always verify the stem.

Wrong: Би үзсүн.
صحیح: Би үзсэн.
