Review Summary

  • Noun + -ի/-ու

常见错误

In Armenian, the possessor must come before the possessed item.

Wrong: Գիրք ընկերոջ (Book friend's)
正确: Ընկերոջ գիրքը (Friend's book)

You missed the genitive suffix -ի which is required for possession.

Wrong: Մայրի գիրքը
正确: Մայրիկի գիրքը

Do not add suffixes to the pronoun 'իմ'. It is already in the correct form.

Wrong: Իմս գիրքը
正确: Իմ գիրքը
