Common Mistakes

In Armenian, the adverb should ideally come before the verb to sound natural.

Wrong: Ես գնում արագ (I go quickly)
Correct: Ես արագ եմ գնում (I am going quickly)

Place adverbs and location phrases should be clearly linked to the state or action.

Wrong: Շատ լավ է տուն (Very good is home)
Correct: Տանը շատ լավ է (At home it is very good)

Time adverbs are best placed at the beginning or before the main object to avoid breaking the verb phrase.

Wrong: Ես հիմա եմ ուտում սնունդ (I now am eating food)
Correct: Ես հիմա սնունդ եմ ուտում (I am eating food now)
