About this rule
How to tell
Take the verb's stem and add -chh- plus the person ending:
When the stem ends in a vowel, it becomes -cch-:
Why it works
Use it for what is happening right now, and for plans that are already set:
Good to know
In relaxed speech you will often hear kortesi (I'm doing) for korchhi (I'm doing). It is a little informal, not wrong; the app teaches korchhi.

Slips to avoid
With ami (I) the ending is -i.
For something happening right now, use this tense. Khai (I eat) is a habit.
