Review Summary

सामान्य गलतियाँ

Stative verbs like 'love' usually take the simple present form in Amharic, not the progressive form.

Wrong: እየወደድኩት ነው (Used for general love instead of falling in love)
सही: እወደዋለሁ (I love him)

Know is a cognitive state, not an ongoing physical process.

Wrong: እየታወቀኝ ነው (I am knowing)
सही: አውቀዋለሁ (I know)

Possession is a state, not a dynamic action.

Wrong: እያለኩ ነው (I am having - state)
सही: አለኝ (I have)
