자주 하는 실수

Pronouns should come before the verb in simple sentences. Placing them after sounds unnatural.

Wrong: Ես տեսնում նրան (I see him - wrong order)
정답: Ես նրան տեսնում եմ (I see him)

Avoid translating 'each other' word-for-word. Use the standard Armenian term 'իրար'.

Wrong: Մենք սիրում ենք մեկը մյուսին (We love each other - literal translation)
정답: Մենք իրար սիրում ենք (We love each other)

Don't forget the auxiliary verb 'եմ' (am) at the end of the sentence!

Wrong: Ես ինձ սիրում (I love myself - missing verb)
정답: Ես ինձ սիրում եմ (I love myself)

자주 묻는 질문 (6)

Because 'Indz' is the object form.
'ես' is the subject (I), 'ինձ' is the indirect object (to me).
Only with verbs that take an indirect object.
Yes, but it sounds poetic or emphatic. Stick to before the verb for neutral speech.
Usually, the indirect object comes first. This is advanced, so focus on one for now.
Yes, but it is less common in neutral speech. Using both is clearer.
