Review Summary

  • Noun + ով

常见错误

You must use the Instrumental suffix when describing transport. Without it, the sentence sounds like you are carrying the car.

Wrong: Ես գնում եմ մեքենա։
正确: Ես գնում եմ մեքենայով։

While word order is flexible, keep the subject clear. Always ensure the tool has the -ով suffix.

Wrong: Գրիչով գրում եմ։
正确: Ես գրում եմ գրիչով։

Personal pronouns often use 'հետ' (with) instead of just the suffix for company.

Wrong: Նա ինձով է։
正确: Նա ինձ հետ է։
