常见错误

You must use the classifier -ti or -ta when counting objects. Skipping it sounds incomplete.

Wrong: পনেরো বই (15 book)
正确: পনেরোটি বই (15-ti book)

Jon is only for humans. Use -ta for inanimate objects.

Wrong: পাঁচজন আপেল (5-jon apple)
正确: পাঁচটা আপেল (5-ta apple)

While often written together, keeping a slight space is standard for clarity in formal writing.

Wrong: বিশজন মানুষ (20 people)
正确: বিশ জন মানুষ (20 people)
