Review Summary

  • [Object] + [Location] + [Preposition] + է
  • Որտե՞ղ է [Place]-ը։
  • [Command verb]
  • Noun
  • [Time] + [Verb]
  • Number

Erros comuns

In Armenian, the verb 'է' (is) usually precedes the noun in questions.

Wrong: Որտեղ դպրոցը է։
Correto: Որտե՞ղ է դպրոցը։

You don't need the definite article suffix '-ը' with the adverb 'ուղիղ'.

Wrong: Գնա ուղիղը։
Correto: Գնացեք ուղիղ։

Use the preposition after the location noun, not as a modifier.

Wrong: Սեղանի վրայի գիրք։
Correto: Գիրքը սեղանի վրա է։

It makes the noun specific, like 'the' in English.
Use 'Թեքվեք'.
