Review Summary

  • Root
  • Subject + Verb
  • Subject + Verb + Object

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You added an 's' to the verb. Indonesian verbs do not change for the subject.

Wrong: Saya makans nasi.
सही: Saya makan nasi.

You reversed the subject and object. The actor must come before the action.

Wrong: Nasi makan saya.
सही: Saya makan nasi.

While 'sedang' works for 'currently', keep it simple for now by using the root.

Wrong: Saya sedang makan nasi.
सही: Saya makan nasi.

Next Steps
