- ่ถฃๅณ romanization: ใใ
ใฟ โ common input error: typing
syumihainstead ofshumiha. In Hepburn romanization ใ = shi, not si or syu. - ใใปใใ vs ใใ: ใปใใ takes ใ and a noun (ใใฎใใปใใ = I want a thing). ใใ attaches to a verb stem (ใในใใ = I want to eat). Both express desire but different word classes.
- ใฏใใใ vs ใใใ: These are opposites โ ๅงใใ (to start) vs ๆญขใใ (to stop/quit). They appear in the same syntactic slot ([activity]ใ๏ฝ), so context and meaning must distinguish them.
- ไผใฟใฎๆฅ for profile writing: Asking and answering ไผใฟใฎๆฅใฏไฝใใใพใใ is a standard profile/conversation opener alongside ใใ ใฟใฏใ.
