ヒントとコツ (4)

💡

Context is King

Since -ի means both 'of' and 'to', look at the verb to decide which one it is.

💡

Vowel Glide

Always add 'յ' before 'ով' if the noun ends in a vowel.

The '-i' Rule

If you are unsure of the case, adding an '-i' to the end of the noun is a safe bet for 80% of Armenian nouns when using postpositions.

よくある間違い

Prepositions like 'առանց' require the Ablative case. You must decline the noun accordingly.

Wrong: Առանց ընկեր (Without friend)
正解: Առանց ընկերոջ (Without friend)

Instrumental case is used for transportation modes. Do not confuse it with possession.

Wrong: Գնացքի (By train - thinking Genitive)
正解: Գնացքով (By train - Instrumental)

Postpositions must come after the noun, and the noun must be in the Genitive case.

Wrong: Մոտ տուն (Near house)
正解: Տան մոտ (Near house)

よくある質問 (6)

It is a historical merger called syncretism.
When the noun ends in a vowel.
Because of vowel reduction.
It's historical! Most are postpositions (after), but a few specific ones like arants (without) are true prepositions (before).
No, use the Instrumental case ending -ov. Het is only for accompaniment (people/animals).
Because it is placed *after* (post) the noun, unlike English prepositions which are placed *before* (pre).
