टिप्स और ट्रिक्स (3)

💡

Don't overdo it

Using '-lah' in every sentence makes you sound like a caricature. Use it sparingly for best effect.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Particle '-Lah'
💡

Suffix, not word

Always attach -kah to the word. No spaces!

💡

Don't double up

Don't use 'juga' and '-pun' in the same clause; it's redundant.
