सामान्य गलतियाँ

Reciprocal verbs already imply the 'each other' meaning, so do not add extra nouns.

Wrong: እነሱ ተረዳዱ እርዳታ (They helped help)
सही: እነሱ ተረዳዱ (They helped each other)

Reciprocal actions require plural subjects, ensure the verb ending matches.

Wrong: ተገናኝ (Meet)
सही: ተገናኙ (They met)

The passive and reciprocal forms can look similar; ensure the -a- infix is present for reciprocity.

Wrong: ተመታ (He hit)
सही: ተመታቱ (They hit each other)
