Review Summary

  • Hu (I) / Ame (We)
  • Tu (Informal) / Tame (Plural/Polite)
  • Te (He/She/It)
  • Aap (Respectful You)

常见错误

You used the polite verb ending with the informal pronoun. Match 'Tu' with 'chhe'.

Wrong: Tu kem chho?
正确: Tu kem chhe?

Mixing formal and informal pronouns is confusing. Stick to one level of formality.

Wrong: Aap tu kem chhe?
正确: Aap kem chho?

Technically correct, but ensure context is clear as 'Teo' is plural third-person.

Wrong: Teo chhe.
正确: Teo chhe.
