Review Summary
- Verb Stem (Past) + -ite
- Verb Root + -akapote
اشتباهات رایج
Do not add personal endings (like -nu or -mu) to the conditional suffix. It remains the same for all persons.
The suffix -ite merges with the verb stem. It is not a separate word.
For negative conditionals, you must use the -aka- infix before -pote, not the standard negative verb form.
