Didi madloba!

I have another question. In my book they say პამიდორი for tomato, but in another one they say პომიდორი.
So are both of them ok and if so which one is more common?

Edit: One more - მიიღო. Is this the aorist? Because it looks like optative. But the translation says "he received" with "he" in the ergative.


მიიღო is an irregular aorist form. There are a group of verbs that act like this, and I seem to recall it having something to do with there being no vowel in the root. I'm sure Mr. Aronson will be more than happy to oblige with a fuller explanation!

Other examples of the same pattern are მან დაიწყო, "he began", and მან აიღო, "it (e.g. the door) opened.

Everyone says პამიდორი, but both are right.

This is not right by the way.
მან აიღო – He/she took
ის გაიღო – It opened

So, I decided to throw myself in the deep end and write something! I sort of guessed on some of it, so I want
to know the normal way people would say these sentences. Especially the last one. Thanks!

ერთი თვის წინ მე ქართული ცუდად ვიცოდი, ახლა კი უკეთესად ვიცი. ახალი სიტყვები ბევრი
ვისწავლე. ქართული ენის გრამატიკა ძალიან საინტერესოა. მინდა კარგად ვილაპარაკო ქართულად,
მაგრამ მუშაობა მჭირდება.

How do you say "still"? As in, "I still need a lot of work." Cause that's what I wanted to say, but I didn't know
how.

Hey well done! No mistakes there.

მაგრამ ჯერ კიდევ მუშაობა მჭირდება.
