Review Summary

  • Verb Stem + -k- + -ondiru- + Tense/Person suffix

اشتباهات رایج

You mixed the subject 'naan' (I) with the third-person suffix. Always match the suffix to the subject.

Wrong: naan saappidukondirukkiraan
صحیح: naan saappidukondirukkiren

You forgot the finite verb ending. The auxiliary needs the tense and person marker.

Wrong: avan saappidukondiru
صحیح: avan saappidukondirukkiraan

Using simple present instead of continuous. Simple present is for habits, while continuous is for the current moment.

Wrong: naan saappidugiren
صحیح: naan saappidukondirukkiren
