Review Summary

  • Verb Stem + sa/se + Personal Ending
  • Verb Stem + ma/me/ba/be/pa/pe + sa/se

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You must use both the correct vowel harmony (-sa for bar-) and the personal ending (-m for 'I').

Wrong: Мен барсе (Men barse)
सही: Мен барсам (Men barsam)

You cannot use the standard present tense (zhauady) with 'if'. You must use the conditional suffix (-sa).

Wrong: Егер жаңбыр жауады, мен бармаймын.
सही: Жаңбыр жауса, бармаймын.

The negation suffix (-ma) must come before the conditional suffix (-sa), not after it.

Wrong: Барса ма (Barsa ma)
सही: Бармаса (Barmasa)
