Review Summary

  • Stem + (-եմ, -ես, -ի, -ենք, -եք, -են) or (-ամ, -աս, -ա, -անք, -աք, -ան)
  • [Action] + որպեսզի + [Subjunctive Verb]

よくある間違い

Using the indicative (present) after 'որ' when expressing a want. In Armenian, 'wanting' something requires the subjunctive mood for the second verb.

Wrong: Ես ուզում եմ, որ դու գալիս ես:
正解: Ես ուզում եմ, որ դու գաս:

Using the indicative 'am' instead of the subjunctive 'be'. 'Երանի' must always be followed by the subjunctive.

Wrong: Երանի ես հարուստ եմ:
正解: Երանի ես հարուստ լինեմ:

After 'որպեսզի', you must use the subjunctive form, not the indicative present.

Wrong: Որպեսզի նա տեսնում է:
正解: Որպեսզի նա տեսնի:
