Review Summary

  • ar + verb
  • ver + verb
  • nu + verb (imperative)

常见错误

Using 'ver' for choice instead of inability. 'Ver' implies a physical or external barrier.

Wrong: me ver vcham (I cannot eat - meaning I don't want to)
正确: me ar vcham (I don't eat)

Using 'ar' for a command. 'Ar' is for stating facts, while 'nu' is specifically for prohibitions.

Wrong: ar gaaketo (Don't do it - as a command)
正确: nu gaaketo (Don't do it - as a command)

Confusing prohibition (telling someone else) with internal desire. 'Nu' is for addressing someone else.

Wrong: nu vcham (I shouldn't eat)
正确: ar unda vchamo (I shouldn't eat)
