Review Summary

  • Subject + akan + Verb
  • Subject + mau + Verb
  • Subject + ingin + Verb

सामान्य गलतियाँ

Do not double up future markers. 'Akan' and 'mau' are both markers of intent; use only one.

Wrong: Saya akan mau makan.
सही: Saya mau makan.

The marker 'akan' must come before the verb, not after.

Wrong: Besok saya pergi akan.
सही: Besok saya akan pergi.

The verb 'ingin' acts as a modal; you do not need 'akan' when expressing a desire.

Wrong: Saya ingin akan sukses.
सही: Saya ingin sukses.
