Review Summary

  • Verb stem + -se/-gyo/-jyo

자주 하는 실수

Missing the emphatic marker in a regional context makes the sentence sound too formal.

Wrong: તે ખાવા ગયો છે.
정답: તે ખાવા ગયો-જ્યો છે.

Subject-verb agreement must still be maintained despite the dialectal ending.

Wrong: તેઓ આવ્યો-સે.
정답: તેઓ આવ્યા-સે.

Using -se for past tense instead of -jyo changes the aspect incorrectly.

Wrong: હું બોલ્યો-સે.
정답: હું બોલ્યો-જ્યો.
