Review Summary

  • Noun + du
  • Noun + mu

اشتباهات رایج

You used the neuter pointer 'idi' for a masculine person. Use 'athadu' for males.

Wrong: ఇది మిత్రుడు (This is friend - used neuter 'idi' with masculine noun)
صحیح: అతడు మిత్రుడు (He is friend)

You applied a masculine ending to an inanimate object. Keep objects neutral with -mu.

Wrong: అతడు పుస్తకము (He is book)
صحیح: ఇది పుస్తకము (This is book)

Don't drop the suffix! The -du is required to complete the noun.

Wrong: అతడు మిత్రు (He is friend - missing ending)
صحیح: అతడు మిత్రుడు (He is friend)
