Common mistakes (Hindi speakers)
हिंदी बोलै वालासभक लेल — गलती सँ बचू
- दो (Hindi)→दुइ
Maithili preserves the dual form दुइ for “two”.
- नौ→नव
Nine is commonly नव in Maithili, not Hindi नौ.
- कितने?→कतेक?
“How many?” is कतेक, not Hindi कितने.
- इक्कीस, बाईस (Hindi spellings)→एकाइस, बाइस
Compound numbers follow Maithili vowel patterns.
