Review Summary

  • Salom / Assalomu alaykum
  • Ismim + [Name]
  • Siz (formal you)

Erreurs courantes

You don't need pronouns like 'sen' (you) when saying your name. 'Ismim' already means 'my name'.

Wrong: Ismim sen Jon.
Correct: Ismim Jon.

Using the informal 'sen' suffix (-san) with a stranger is considered rude. Always use the formal -siz suffix.

Wrong: Yaxshimisan? (to a stranger)
Correct: Yaxshimisiz? (to a stranger)

The formal greeting requires the full 'Assalomu alaykum' for proper cultural etiquette.

Wrong: Salom alaykum.
Correct: Assalomu alaykum.

Next Steps

You are doing amazing! Keep practicing these greetings every day to make them second nature.

Record yourself saying 'Assalomu alaykum' and 'Ismim [Your Name]'.
