Review Summary

  • Namaskara
  • Dhanyavada
  • Nanna hesaru [Name]
  • Hegiddira?

常见错误

Namaskara is a standalone greeting. Adding 'you' is unnecessary.

Wrong: Namaskara you
正确: Namaskara

Nanu means 'I', but you need the possessive 'Nanna' (my) for 'my name'.

Wrong: Nanu hesaru John
正确: Nanna hesaru John

The verb form 'Hegiddira' already implies the pronoun 'you'.

Wrong: Hegiddira me?
正确: Hegiddira?
