よくある間違い

Learners often use the Perfect tense (sam ušao) for everything. Use Aorist for punchy, literary narrative.

Wrong: Ja sam ušao u sobu.
正解: Uđoh u sobu.

Mixing endings is common. Remember that 3rd person singular in Aorist often drops the suffix.

Wrong: On radismo.
正解: On uradi.

Aorist is not for habitual actions. It is for single, completed events.

Wrong: Svaki dan uđoh u školu.
正解: Svaki dan sam ulazio u školu.
