Review Summary

  • Noun + ը/ն
  • Object + ը + որտե՞ղ + է

常见错误

You must attach the definite article when asking about a specific item.

Wrong: Գիրք որտե՞ղ է
正确: Գիրքը որտե՞ղ է

Use -ը for consonants and -ն for vowels. Since 'գիրք' ends in a consonant, use -ը.

Wrong: Որտե՞ղ է գիրքն
正确: Որտե՞ղ է գիրքը

Simple commands often use the root form of the verb for the informal singular.

Wrong: Գնաիր
正确: Գնա
