Well, you seem to be progressing quickly--take it as a compliment! :)
I would agree with this statement about the categorization of languages, but some simply do not fit the pattern. An example is Greek, which starts off fairly challenging and does not get much easier... I am pleased to hear, though, that Russian, a language I intend to study soon, would be classified in the latter group. Even if it is not too difficult at first, from what I've read about Georgian it sounds very challenging, so I am very impressed nonetheless! Great work so far, and I'm sure you will find success. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

სხვათა შორის Marich, გუშინ ახალ ამბებს ვუყურებდი ტელევიზორში და ნოდარ კუმარიტაშვილის სიკვდილზე ლაპარაკობდნენ. ვფიკრობ რომ ეს მართლა ტრაგიკული ამბავია. Sorry for the loss of your countryman.

გამარჯობა Marich! რაშია საქმე ჰოლანდიაში? დაკავებული ხარ?
მე ყოველდღე ძალიან დაკავებული ვარ იმიტომ რომ მომავალ კვირას გადავდივარ ახალ ბინაში. ახალი ბინა ახლანდელ ბინაზე დიდია, ამიტომ ბედნიერი ვარ, მაგრამ მზადება ძალიან დამღლელია. ქარტულ რესტორანში მომავალ თვის მივდივარ. ხინკალი რესტორანის მენიუშია, ამიტომ უდავოდ შევჭამ.

Georgian class today - missed half of it as I was stuck in traffic but mostly it was just practicing ordinal and cardinal numbers, which I'm OK with so I didn't miss too much.
I have been a little lacking in motivation since my 'flu, but last night I was suddenly struck by the bug (the language learning bug, not the 'flu bug) again and spent the whole night studying with the Aronson book. After writing my last message above to Marich27, which explains that I have been busy recently as I am moving to a new apartment next week, I was thinking that I could really have written it in a more sophisticated manner. So I have a question for you Marich whenever you have time to reply. If I want to say "I am busy because I am preparing to move" in Georgian, is this OK? დაკავებული ვარ იმიტომ რომ გადასვლასათვის ვმზადები. Or am I completely wrong...? I don't really understand how to use the masdar (verbal noun) and I wish I did as it would be really useful for producing longer, more detailed sentences. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

azriT :) გადასვლასათვის isn't correct. you should say either "gadasasvlelad" or "gadasvlisTvis". the rest of the sentence is absolutely correct. Verbal noun is not as often used in Georgian as, let's say English. I am not sure about the exact rules of usage but it is most commonly used as a noun. you can write down some sentences here and let's see how it works, if you wish.

I have the Aronson book now, and you're right, it is fairly technical. But that's perfect for me, I like the technical explanations and such. I know that sort of vocabulary so it makes everything very clear for me. But I don't know how good it'll be for practical communication and such. I have a few more practical Russian resources on my computer, but the file quality is really low and they're very hard to read sometimes. But we'll see I suppose. I don't know how soon I'll be joining in with you and Marich. Keeping up with Russian and chugging along in mandarin is a pretty good amount of work. I think it'll be a weekends kind of thing ;). Hopefully sometime though. Maybe in 2011 we can have a Russian/Georgian/Asian language TAC team :D 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
