Review Summary

  • Ben / Sen / O
  • Noun + -(y)im/sin/dur
  • Noun + değil + suffix
  • Noun + (mı/mi/mu/mü)

اشتباهات رایج

You mixed up the subject pronoun with the suffix. Remember: Ben goes with -im.

Wrong: Ben öğretmen-sin
صحیح: Ben öğretmen-im

The word 'değil' must come after the noun, not before.

Wrong: Ben değil öğrenciyim
صحیح: Ben öğrenci değilim

Vowel harmony! 'o' is a back vowel, so the question particle must be 'mu'.

Wrong: Sen doktor musin?
صحیح: Sen doktor musun?
