Mistakes English speakers make with भी

Incorrect: Counting अभी as भी

Correct: भी must appear as its own word

अभी means now; it does not count for also.

Incorrect: Putting भी at the start like English also

Correct: Usually after the noun/pronoun: मैं भी

Word order differs.

Good to know

भी is tiny but constant — menus, invites, and arguments all stack items with भी. Never glue it to अ to make अभी when you mean also.
