技巧与窍门 (2)

💡

Drop the Pronoun

You don't always need 'Men' or 'Sen'. The verb ending is enough.

Review Summary

  • Stem + -a/-e/-y
  • Base + Personal Ending

常见错误

You must remove the infinitive '-u' and add the tense marker '-a' before the personal ending.

Wrong: Мен барумын.
正确: Мен барамын.

Vowel harmony error. 'ішу' is a soft verb, so it requires the soft suffix '-e' and the soft ending '-мін'.

Wrong: Мен ішамын.
正确: Мен ішемін.

While '-dy/-di' is used in some present forms, in the general present, the 3rd person often takes no personal ending or a specific suffix. Stick to the base for now.

Wrong: Ол барады.
正确: Ол барады / Ол бара.
