- [Verb] + ហើយ (haey)
सामान्य गलतियाँ
The particle 'haey' must follow the verb, not precede it. It acts as a post-verbal aspect marker.
You need to include the particle 'haey' for completion, 'ruoch' alone is an adjective.
Mixing 'nov-te' (still) and 'haey' (already) in the same state is contradictory.
