Häufige Fehler

Using colloquial 'ուրախ' and 'քեզ' in a high-level formal context lacks the necessary social register.

Wrong: Ես շատ ուրախ եմ քեզ տեսնել պաշտոնական հանդիպման ժամանակ (I am very happy to see you during a formal meeting).
Richtig: Մեծապես պատվված եմ Ձեզ տեսնելու առիթով (I am greatly honored by the occasion of seeing you).

Over-reliance on the relative pronoun 'որը' and simple verbs like 'ասել' makes C2 writing sound repetitive and basic.

Wrong: Այն մարդը, որը եկավ այստեղ, ասաց ինձ ամեն ինչ (The man who came here told me everything).
Richtig: Այստեղ ժամանած անձնավորությունը հայտնեց ինձ բոլոր մանրամասները (The individual who arrived here informed me of all the details).

At C2, failing to use descriptive, figurative verbs like 'շողարձակել' (to radiate) makes the prose feel 'dry'.

Wrong: Արևը դուրս եկավ ու լույս տվեց (The sun came out and gave light).
Richtig: Արեգակը շողարձակեց՝ ողողելով աշխարհը իր ոսկեզօծ լույսով (The sun radiated, flooding the world with its gilded light).
