Let\u2019s now move on to the conjugation of to know in present tense. This verb is simple and short, so you may not have problems with pronouncing it. The only tricky part are the cases connected with it. See how it look like in present tense:<\/p>

\u10db\u10d4 \u10d5\u10d8\u10ea\u10d8<\/p>

\u10e8\u10d4\u10dc \u10d8\u10ea\u10d8<\/p>

\u10db\u10d0\u10dc \u10d8\u10ea\u10d8\u10e1<\/p>

\u10e9\u10d5\u10d4\u10dc \u10d5\u10d8\u10ea\u10d8\u10d7<\/p>

\u10d7\u10e5\u10d5\u10d4\u10dc \u10d8\u10ea\u10d8\u10d7<\/p>

\u10db\u10d0\u10d7 \u10d8\u10ea\u10d8\u10d0\u10dc<\/p>

The verb \u10ea\u10dd\u10d3\u10dc\u10d0 means to know, but only to know something. We do not use it when talking about people. For the latter there is a separate verb, \u10d2\u10d0\u10ea\u10dc\u10dd\u10d1\u10d0, which you may know from the phrase \u10e1\u10d0\u10e1\u10d8\u10d0\u10db\u10dd\u10d5\u10dc\u10dd\u10d0 \u10e8\u10d4\u10dc\u10d8 \u10d2\u10d0\u10ea\u10dc\u10dd\u10d1\u10d0 – it\u2019s nice to meet you. In English we do not have such a distinction, so it\u2019s wort remembering the rule.<\/p>

That is why the verb \u10ea\u10dd\u10d3\u10dc\u10d0\u00a0 will be used when talking about our skills, e.g. I know Georgian or I know computers. The pattern of such sentences will be the same:<\/p>

\u10d5\u10d8\u10ea\u10d8 + \u10e0\u10d0?<\/p>

\u10d5\u10d8\u10ea\u10d8 \u10e5\u10d0\u10e0\u10d7\u10e3\u10da\u10d8<\/p>

\u10d5\u10d8\u10ea\u10d8 \u10d9\u10dd\u10db\u10de\u10d8\u10e3\u10e2\u10d4\u10e0\u10d8<\/p>

This verb can be also used in the context of \u201cDo you know that\u2026\u201d- \u10d8\u10ea\u10d8, \u10e0\u10dd\u10db…? That\u2019s quite useful, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>

The other question worth remembering is: Who knows (something)?Then one uses the word \u10d5\u10d8\u10dc, e.g. \u10d5\u10d8\u10dc \u10d8\u10ea\u10d8\u10e1 \u10e5\u10d0\u10e0\u10d7\u10e3\u10da\u10d8 \u10d4\u10dc\u10d0? \u2013 Who knows Georgian? The subject is still in 2nd<\/sup> case, Ergative<\/a>, just the word \u201cwho\u201d looks the same in 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> \u00a0case.<\/p>
