Review Summary

  • Verb Root + unnu
  • Noun + aanu
  • Subject + Verb

자주 하는 실수

You don't need 'aanu' when you already have a conjugated verb. 'Aanu' is for nouns, not for action verbs.

Wrong: ഞാൻ പഠിക്കുന്നു ആണ്
정답: ഞാൻ പഠിക്കുന്നു

While grammatically correct, ensure your subject matches the formality of the context.

Wrong: അവൻ കഴിക്കുന്നു
정답: അവൻ കഴിക്കുന്നു

Do not insert 'aanu' between the subject and the verb in a simple present sentence.

Wrong: രാഹുൽ ആണ് പഠിക്കുന്നു
정답: രാഹുൽ പഠിക്കുന്നു
