Review Summary

  • Որտե՞ղ է [Place]-ը։
  • [Command verb]
  • Noun
  • [Time] + [Verb]
  • Number

よくある間違い

In Armenian, the verb 'է' (is) usually precedes the noun in questions.

Wrong: Որտեղ դպրոցը է։
正解: Որտե՞ղ է դպրոցը։

You don't need the definite article suffix '-ը' with the adverb 'ուղիղ'.

Wrong: Գնա ուղիղը։
正解: Գնացեք ուղիղ։

Use the preposition after the location noun, not as a modifier.

Wrong: Սեղանի վրայի գիրք։
正解: Գիրքը սեղանի վրա է։

よくある質問 (6)

Because the postposition requires the genitive case.
Yes, but be careful with context.
It means 'where'.
It makes the noun specific, like 'the' in English.
Use 'Թեքվեք'.
No, only for places. For people, use 'մոտ'.
