Review Summary
- Noun(-a) -> Noun(-e) + Postposition
- Noun + on/an + Postposition
أخطاء شائعة
You forgot to change the -a to -e. Masculine nouns must shift before a postposition.
Plurals need the oblique suffix. 'Lok' alone acts as a direct subject, not an oblique object.
Don't add the singular oblique -e to the plural -an. Keep the base clear.
Next Steps
You have conquered the oblique case! This is a milestone in your journey. Keep practicing, and it will become second nature.
