Review Summary

  • Adjective + Noun
  • Adjective + -որեն

Erros comuns

Do not add extra endings to adjectives when using them as predicates.

Wrong: Գիրքը մեծը է (The book big is)
Correto: Գիրքը մեծ է (The book is big)

While 'արագ' can be an adverb, using the -որեն suffix emphasizes the manner of the action.

Wrong: Նա արագ է վազում (He fast is running)
Correto: Նա արագորեն է վազում (He is running quickly)

Adjectives in Armenian do not take noun suffixes like -ը when placed before the noun.

Wrong: Կարմիրը խնձոր (Red apple)
Correto: Կարմիր խնձոր (Red apple)
