💡

Use -ում for processes

If you are talking about the process itself, use -ում. If you are talking about the concept, use the infinitive.

🎯

The 'Article' Rule

If your nominalized verb is the subject, ALWAYS add the definite article (-ը or -ն). Without it, the sentence sounds broken.

Review Summary

  • Verb stem + -ում
  • Adjective + -ը

자주 하는 실수

You used a verb instead of a nominalized form. When talking about the act of working, use the gerund/noun form.

Wrong: Նա աշխատում է շատ լավ.
정답: Նրա աշխատումը շատ լավ է.

Adjectives acting as nouns require the definite article -ը/-ն to function as a substantive.

Wrong: Ես սիրում եմ գեղեցիկ.
정답: Ես սիրում եմ գեղեցիկը.

You used the infinitive instead of the nominalized noun. Use the -ում form for the concept of development.

Wrong: Զարգացնելը կա։
정답: Զարգացումը կա։
