सामान्य गलतियाँ

When using 'po', use 'kayo' (you plural/formal) instead of 'ka' (you singular/informal) to maintain consistent respect.

Wrong: Kumusta ka po.
सही: Kumusta po kayo.

While 'araw' means day, it's not a common greeting; use specific times like 'umaga' (morning).

Wrong: Magandang araw.
सही: Magandang umaga.

You don't need to add a pronoun after 'salamat'. Keep it simple and direct.
