Review Summary

  • Root + ba/be
  • Root + ban/ben
  • Root + ból/ből

Erros comuns

You used the inessive (location) instead of the illative (direction). Remember: movement requires -ba/-be.

Wrong: Megyek a házban.
Correto: Megyek a házba.

You used the elative (out of) instead of the inessive. Location needs -ban/-ben.

Wrong: A könyv a táskából van.
Correto: A könyv a táskában van.

Mixing up the directionality. 'Kijön' (come out) naturally takes the elative.

Wrong: Kijövök a házba.
Correto: Kijövök a házból.
