The 'Drop' Rule

If you want to sound like a native, try to remove the pronoun. If the sentence still makes sense, leave it out!

Review Summary

  • Ben / Sen / O
  • Noun + -(y)im/sin/dur
  • Noun + değil + suffix
  • Noun + (mı/mi/mu/mü)

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You mixed up the subject pronoun with the suffix. Remember: Ben goes with -im.

Wrong: Ben öğretmen-sin
सही: Ben öğretmen-im

The word 'değil' must come after the noun, not before.

Wrong: Ben değil öğrenciyim
सही: Ben öğrenci değilim

Vowel harmony! 'o' is a back vowel, so the question particle must be 'mu'.

Wrong: Sen doktor musin?
सही: Sen doktor musun?
