Review Summary
- Verb Root + unnu
- Noun + aanu
- Subject + Verb
常见错误
You don't need 'aanu' when you already have a conjugated verb. 'Aanu' is for nouns, not for action verbs.
While grammatically correct, ensure your subject matches the formality of the context.
Do not insert 'aanu' between the subject and the verb in a simple present sentence.
