Erreurs courantes

Confusing 'my' (իմ) with 'mine' (իմը). Remember: use իմ before a noun, use իմը alone.

Wrong: Սա իմ գիրքն է։ (Correct in English structure but often misused)
Correct: Սա իմ գիրքն է։ (Wait, this is actually correct, but don't confuse իմ with իմը!)

Using personal pronouns as adjectives. 'Ես' means 'I', not 'my'.

Wrong: Դա ես գիրք է։
Correct: Դա իմ գիրքն է։

Incorrect word order. In Armenian questions, the verb often follows the question word.

Wrong: Ու՞մ սա է։
Correct: Ու՞մն է սա։
