Lehrbuch der Georgischen Sprache 9:
ჩვენ ქართულის გარდა გერმანული წიგნებიც გვაქვს. I didn't get this sentence. Does it mean "Besides Georgian, we also have German books"? Which form is correct for "about what?" რას შესახებ? or რაზე შესახე? ============================ Mission accomplished. I could finish today's lesson from book2. Having read the dialogue yesterday calmly at home helped enormously. I don't think it's "cheating", since I don't have the audio. But if I did have the audio, I would prefer to listen to it before. When I read the dialogue previously yesterday, I browsed through the Georgian text and didn't bother checking for unknown words either in glossary or in translation. I think I could pick quite a bit, which means I'm learning but I'm still reviewing. Let's see how this will evolve, after all, i've been through less than 1/3 of the lessons. I expect the upcoming lessons to be fairly more challenging. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have not really noticed this peculiarity before. Having thought about it, I can only come up with one more example at the moment: სკოლაში კარგი ნიშნები მყავს - I have good grades at school.
You can both use or not use -ც with ასევე.
It actually means: I couldn't understand the sentence. გავიგე is past simple tense of მესმის (I think it's what they call aorist in Georgian?). There's no difference in meaning, just different tense.
Tixhiidon is right. We use შეყვარებული for 'girlfriend/boyfriend'. And it doesn't sound as dramatic and serious as 'lover'. 'მეგობარი გოგო' might be used very rarely from English influence, but usually it denotes just a friend.
Yeah, it just should be იყო instead of იქო. Which part do you not understand?
მზა is adjective and means 'ready made' not 'ready', such as: მზა საჭმელი - ready made meal. მზად is technically adverb but is used as 'ready' . მზადმყოფი adj. - a person who is ready. It's formed in a same way as e.g.: ავი adj. - evil, wicked. ავად adv. - ill, sick adj. ავადმყოფი adj. - person who is ill. So some adverbs can have corresponding meaning in English as an adjective.
Right.
Yes that's what it means. You mean ვიცი? Yes it's different.
I wouldn't understand the meaning of this question personally. It literally means: 'Did you daughter grow up already?' The word for an adult is 'ზრდასრული'. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yes.
The former is correct. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Murdoc, it's so good of you to take the time to help us with our Georgian. I'm really
grateful. One question, though, since შესახებ takes the genitive, shouldn't it be რის შესახებ? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I got the meaning of the sentence about Giorgi 12nd. It's just that for a second I thought it would mean "Giorgi is the 12nd last king of Georgia", and it wouldn't make sense to count backwards. Then I realized the 12nd was part of his title.
Regarding this sentence here:
Why is ქართულის in the genitive? Is it required by postposition (or adverb) გარდა? I'm trying to figure out if there's a case when the particle -ც has to be added to a noun that ends in -ს, that is, in the genitive or accusative. In this case, would we have to use an extended form in -ისა and only then add the -ც? Sorry but I can't think of an example. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

book2
იცი, სად არის მისი გასაღები? Do you know where his key is? Should I always use a comma after "იცი"? That is, when introducing a subordinate clause? ბავშვებო, სად არის თქვენი მამიკო? Children, where is your father? I assume this -კო is an afectuous ending/diminutive? Btw, why is თქვენ used with children? Maybe a calque from German?
