Yes, exactly like this. There are 3 tenses in Georgian language: present, past and future. Quite similar to majority of other languages (at least the ones which have tenses). However you might have seen in some study books that there are more forms. What is it related with?<\/p>

There is something like screeves<\/strong> in Georgian language. Those are the Georgian verbs forms that show several pieces of information like: the tense, who is acting, type of conjugation and more. To make it easier and not to burden you with complex linguistical terms we call it \u201cforms\u201d in our articles. There are 11 forms in general but half of them is not used as often as the 5 main ones.<\/p>

In addition, all those 11 forms are being divided into 3 series. So, to sum up we have 3 tenses, 3 series (not equal to the tenses) and in each of those there are different verb forms also known as screeves<\/strong>. You\u2019ll use 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> series the most, because there are forms one uses most often in daily life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What\u2019s worth to know in Georgian language?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There are 5 forms knowing of which will be quite useful, if you want to be fluent in Georgian on A2\/B1 levels. Those are exactly the ones we\u2019ll tell you more about today.<\/p>

The first one is the present tense – \u10d0\u10ee\u10da\u10d0\u10dc\u10d3\u10d4\u10da\u10d8 \u10d3\u10e0\u10dd<\/strong> – which you\u2019ll use talking about present, your habits and general statements. This is probably the first tense you\u2019ll learn in Georgian. The grammatical name of the tense is \u10d0\u10ec\u10db\u10e7\u10dd<\/strong>, but it seems to be much harder to learn for the foreigners. That is why the first version we showed you, will be the one you\u2019ll find it the majority of study materials.<\/p>

Examples would be \u10d1\u10d0\u10dc\u10d9\u10e8\u10d8 \u10d5\u10db\u10e3\u10e8\u10d0\u10dd\u10d1<\/strong> – I work in a bank. \u10db\u10d4 \u10d0\u10e1\u10d8\u10d0 \u10db\u10e5\u10d5\u10d8\u10d0<\/strong> – My name is Asia.<\/p>

The second one is the imperfect sometimes being introduces as past continuous,<\/a> so in Georgian \u10e3\u10ec\u10e7\u10d5\u10d4\u10e2\u10d4\u10da\u10d8 \u10ec\u10d0\u10e0\u10e1\u10e3\u10da\u10d8 \u10d3\u10e0\u10dd<\/strong>. One uses it when talking about past, but we do not know whether the action is completed or this was a process or a habit (“used to do something”).<\/p>

The examples may be \u10dd\u10e4\u10d8\u10e1\u10e8\u10d8 \u10db\u10d0\u10dc\u10e5\u10d0\u10dc\u10d8\u10d7 \u10db\u10d8\u10d5\u10d3\u10d8\u10dd\u10d3\u10d8<\/strong> – I was going to the office by car. \u10db\u10d7\u10d4\u10da \u10e1\u10d0\u10e6\u10d0\u10db\u10dd\u10e1 \u10d5\u10e1\u10ec\u10d0\u10d5\u10da\u10dd\u10d1\u10d3\u10d8 \u10e5\u10d0\u10e0\u10d7\u10e3\u10da\u10e1.<\/strong> \u2013 Whole evening I was studying Georgian.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"georgian\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The third one is the future tense – \u10db\u10dd\u10db\u10d0\u10d5\u10d0\u10da\u10d8 \u10d3\u10e0\u10dd<\/strong><\/a> – which similarly to English we use when describing future. Something that we know will take place and has not happened yet . The grammatical name is \u10db\u10e7\u10dd\u10e4\u10d0\u10d3\u10d8<\/strong>, but it seems to be much harder to learn for the foreigners. That is why the first one we gave you will be the one you\u2019ll find it the majority of study materials.<\/p>

The sentences in future tense are for example \u10ee\u10d5\u10d0\u10da \u10d1\u10d0\u10dc\u10d9\u10e8\u10d8 \u10d0\u10e0 \u10d5\u10d8\u10db\u10e3\u10e8\u10d0\u10d5\u10d4\u10d1<\/strong>. \u2013 Tomorrow I will not work in a bank. \u10db\u10d0\u10d6\u10d4\u10d2 \u10e8\u10d4\u10dc\u10e1 \u10e2\u10d4\u10da\u10d4\u10e4\u10dd\u10dc\u10e1 \u10e8\u10d4\u10d5\u10d0\u10d9\u10d4\u10d7\u10d4\u10d1<\/strong>. \u2013 In 2 days I will repair this phone.<\/p>

The fourth form of the verb (4th<\/sup> screeve) that is quite useful is aorist also known as past simple, so \u10ec\u10e7\u10d5\u10d4\u10e2\u10d8\u10da\u10d8 \u10ec\u10d0\u10e0\u10e1\u10e3\u10da\u10d8 \u10d3\u10e0\u10dd<\/strong>. You\u2019ll use it when talking about past. Something that happened and was completed in the past. Some verbs have only one past form, e.g. verb to be or verbs to have. You won’t be able to distinguish whether it has been a continuous or completed action. Additionally, some verbs use this form for imperative mode.<\/p>

Examples with this form would be \u10d1\u10d4\u10d5\u10e0\u10d8 \u10e7\u10d0\u10d5\u10d0 \u10d3\u10d0\u10d5\u10da\u10d8\u10d4<\/strong>.- I drank lots of coffee. \u10db\u10dd\u10d2\u10d4\u10ec\u10dd\u10dc\u10d0 \u10d4\u10e1 \u10dd\u10d7\u10d0\u10ee\u10d8?<\/strong> \u2013 Didi you like this room?<\/p>

The last but not least form is optative – \u10db\u10d4\u10dd\u10e0\u10d4 \u10d9\u10d0\u10d5\u10e8\u10d8\u10e0\u10d4\u10d1\u10d8\u10d7\u10d8<\/strong>. It\u2019s the screeve hard to find in other European languages. One of it’s uses is when talking about wishes or assumptions. Also you\u2019ll find it in the phrases with verbs like: “want to do something”, “have to do something “or “to plan to do something”. Some verbs use this form also to crate negative imperative mode, e.g. “do not do it”.<\/p>

\u00a0The examples may be \u10db\u10d8\u10dc\u10d3\u10d0 \u10d5\u10d8\u10e7\u10d8\u10d3\u10dd \u10dd\u10e0\u10d8 \u10d5\u10d0\u10e8\u10da\u10d8<\/strong>. \u2013 I want to buy 2 apples. \u10d0\u10e0 \u10d2\u10d0\u10d0\u10d9\u10d4\u10d7\u10dd!<\/strong> – Do not do it!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Let\u2019s complete this article with an advice. The order in which we have provided you with those forms is not random. It will be much easier for you if you learn those forms exactly in this order because of how the forms transform one into another. Some of the study materials introduce you to the past simple just after the present tense which makes the Georgian study much more complicated. That is why the above order is much more useful!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
