اشتباهات رایج

The suffix '-i' already implies the preposition 'ke' (to/into). Adding both is redundant.

Wrong: Saya memasuki ke bilik.
صحیح: Saya memasuki bilik.

'-i' denotes repetition. Using it with 'sekali' (once) creates a logical contradiction.

Wrong: Dia memukuli bola itu sekali.
صحیح: Dia memukul bola itu sekali.

Similar to mistake 1, the preposition 'ke' is unnecessary after the transitive verb 'menghadiri'.

Wrong: Saya menghadiri ke mesyuarat.
صحیح: Saya menghadiri mesyuarat.
