Review Summary

  • Motion Verb + Supine (Infinitive minus -i)

सामान्य गलतियाँ

While 'kupiti' is the dictionary form, the Supine 'kupit' is preferred after movement verbs.

Wrong: Grem kupiti kruh.
सही: Grem kupit kruh.

Do not keep the -i; it is redundant when a motion verb is present.

Wrong: Oni gredo spat-i.
सही: Oni gredo spat.

Avoid using 'da' + present tense when a simple Supine suffices.

Wrong: Prišel sem da berem.
सही: Prišel sem brat.
