Book2 19
რისი მომზადება გინდა დღეს? What do you want to cook today? Which tense is მომზადება? Or is it verbal noun? დავჭრა ხახვი? Shall I cut the onions? I know that ხახვი means onion, but I don't get how this "shall i cut" is rendered. Again, which verbal form? Kiziria's 10 I still have some exercises to finish for this lesson, but let's go. I didn't appreciate much the way all the interrogative and relative pronouns where introduced. I think it turned out quite messy. ქველაფერი, რაც ქეთინომ თქვა, მართალია. Everything that Ketino said is true. Now, I see that Ketino is in a different case. Is it the ergative? Is the verb to say a 4th conjugation verb? I see this is a more advanced grammar topic now. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

It's the verbal noun for მოამზადებს
It's the optative form, which has quite a few uses, and here means "Shall I cut?" The 3rd person future tense is დაჭრის
Yes, it's the ergative case. "Say" is not 4th conjugation, but is highly irregular. You need to learn all the tenses and forms pretty much one by one. By the way, it's ყველაფერი. Edited by TixhiiDon on 10 February 2012 at 11:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Sorry for the typos guys, it's just that I use Google qwerty keyboard and when I type q I get ქ and ყ when I type y, so I still need to get totally used.

No the problem was that it says "Aqiravebt" with an ა. When people write q it usually means ქ. So that part's
ok. Maybe we should all just start writing in Georgian letters haha.. Edited by zecchino1991 on 12 February 2012 at 10:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Depends what you wanna say. თქვენ ბინას აქირავებთ? means "Are you renting a flat out"? თქვენ ბინას იქირავებთ? – Will you rent a flat? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

book2 20
This is about "small talk". Book2 translates it as პატარა დიალოგი. I'm afraid this is a literal translation. Is it correct? What would be a proper translation for the concept of "small talk"? მყუდროდ მოეწყვეთ! - Make yourself comfortable. Which tense is მოეწყვეთ? რას დალევთ? What would you like to drink? Is დალევთ future tense? გიყვართ კონცერტზე სიარული? - Do you like to go to concerts? It seems Georgian uses a different verb in these situations, სიარული translates as walk, so it's more like "do you like walking on concerts... Kiziria's 11 A tough lesson with optative being introduced. I don't like lessons on recipes that much - it was a recipe lesson that made me quit Hewitt's book. Still, I managed to survive. The optative allows us to convey a lot of meanings in Georgian, it is a pretty useful mood. Let me see if I understood something: when you use the optative for an invitation, in the sense of "Let's", you may - or may not - add the მოდი(თ) (imperative?) before the optative. The optative, though, should always be in the 1st plural - ჩვენ form, with ვ- and -თ, regardless whether you're calling that person შენ or თქვენ...Is it so? 1 person has voted this message useful |
