#143 Our favourite mistakes: Grammar & Vocabulary

โ–ถ๏ธ Please translate the following sentence:

Qimmat boโ€™lsa ham sotib olmoqchiman.


โŒ Perhaps you think it is:
Even itโ€™s expensive I want to buy it.

โœ… Well, it should be:
Even if/though itโ€™s expensive I want to buy it.

โ“Why?

โ—๏ธ Even cannot stand on itโ€™s own here. There is no difference in meaning between if and though that follows it but you have to use one of them.
