გყავს is "you have." მყავს is I have. :)

Hmm yeah. the მ- only appears at first person SINGULAR, and not plural. I should bear this in mind. Tricky...
I can still say მე მანქანა არა მყავს, მაგრამ ბინა მაქვს...(or should I use კი instead of მაგრამ?) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I would say that both მანქანა არა მყავს, მაგრამ ბინა მაქვს (you can drop მე) and მანქანა
არა მყავს, ბინა კი მაქვს are fine. By the way, 4th conjugation verbs are the section where Kiziria really leaves out a lot. With her book you can say "You love Georgia", for example, which would be საქართველო გიყვარს, but she doesn't teach you how to say "You love me", which is გიყვარვარ, and even more importantly "I love you", which is მიყვარხარ (and which of course you're going to need some day when you fall in love with a Georgian!)

I noticed that too, TixhiiDon! I thought it was very strange that she didn't teach how to say "I love you." Maybe
she didn't want to get into the suffixes. However, I learned miyvarxar in about two seconds reading some teenagers' Facebook pages.. It's like that's all they know how to say... Ok sorry to get off topic here. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's still on topic as it is about Georgian =D
Let not my girlfriend read that I'd fall in love with a Georgian =D I know that a lot is coming about 4th conjugation as well as the object infixes, but that is something I don't fear that much. I can simply make analogies to what happens in Romance languages, where we do insert object pronouns within a verb...Have you heard about Portuguese mesóclise?! Can't wait to get serious on this subject on Aronson and Tschenkeli though...seems promising! I think next week I'll be done with Kiziria. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Haha, yeah, I noticed that too. Georgian teenagers and 20-somethings seem to be really sloppy! It's all მიყვარხააარ! and რა ლამაზი ხარ and კეთილი. You'd never get away with it in England, or Japan for that matter... Edited by TixhiiDon on 10 February 2012 at 1:44am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yeah, except it's miyvarxaaaarr, and ra lamazii xaaaar. Seems like only these people's parents actually write
in Georgian letters haha. Oh, and don't forget "momenatree"! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Expugnator,
დალაგება means to "tidy up", "clean up", like putting things in order. გაწმენდა means to "clean", "brush", basically removing stains, etc.
Do you know "სა–ო" preffix-suffix combination? It basically means "for", e.g. "სა–ქართველ–ო" - literally translates as "for Georgians" სა–სადილ–ო" – "for dinner" meaning "dinning room" You can form not only nouns but adjectives as well in the same way. so "სა–ბავშვ–ო" is an adjective meaning "for children". ... LOL about Facebook stuff :D Edited by Murdoc on 10 February 2012 at 8:05pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
