Knowing Georgian verbs of movement enables you to communicate in many daily situations in Georgia. That\u2019s why we\u2019ll learn today how to use and conjugate it as well as the example sentences with it.<\/p>

Let\u2019s start with what Georgian verbs of movement are. We are talking here about a big group of verbs that indicate you doing any movement. In this article we\u2019ll focus on two of those \u2013 „to go” and „to come”. Other that are in the Georgian verbs of movement group are e.g. „stand up”, „sit down”, „go up” or „come out”.<\/p>

Why is it beneficial to remember \u201cGeorgian verbs of movement\u201d are a separate group of verbs? Although those verbs often have not so similar and not so regular conjugation, they are similar, as far as cases and prefixes are concerned. As a result we can learn those faster, because the new ones will use part of the knowledge you already have. So you learn Georgian quicker.<\/p>

How to use verb \u201cto go\u201d in Georgian?<\/h2>

As the first one we\u2019ll take „to go” so \u10ec\u10d0\u10e1\u10d5\u10da\u10d0<\/strong>.We can use it no matter if we go by foot or by any means of transport. In general we use it similar to English, so about moving on the surface.<\/p>

A bit worse piece of news is that it\u2019s not really regular and looks a bit (or a lot) different in different tenses in comparison to the other verbs. The better piece of news is that the verbs connected with it, e.g. to go in, go out or go down will conjugate exactly the same. So once you learn \u10ec\u10d0\u10e1\u10d5\u10da\u10d0<\/strong>, it\u2019s almost like you know all of them. This is one of the reasons we say Georgian verbs of movement are like a separate group of verbs.<\/p>

Let\u2019s now look at the conjugation in present tense:<\/p>

\u10db\u10d4 \u10db\u10d8\u10d5\u10d3\u10d8\u10d5\u10d0\u10e0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10e8\u10d4\u10dc \u10db\u10d8\u10d3\u10d8\u10ee\u10d0\u10e0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10d8\u10e1 \u10db\u10d8\u10d3\u10d8\u10e1<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10e9\u10d5\u10d4\u10dc \u10db\u10d8\u10d5\u10d3\u10d8\u10d5\u10d0\u10e0\u10d7<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10d7\u10e5\u10d5\u10d4\u10dc \u10db\u10d8\u10d3\u10d8\u10ee\u10d0\u10e0\u10d7<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10d8\u10e1\u10d8\u10dc\u10d8 \u10db\u10d8\u10d3\u10d8\u10d0\u10dc<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>

If you already know the verb \u201eto be\u201d learning our new verb will be even easier. The prefix \u00a0\u10db\u10d8<\/strong>– shows us the direction about which we speak. Either it means going somewhere in general or going from the person who speaks in the opposite direction. Exactly this is typical for the Georgian verbs of movement \u2013 by adding different prefixes we indicate the direction<\/p>

\"Conjugation<\/a><\/figure>

How does the verb to come looks like in Georgian?<\/h2>

This time I will start with good news. The verb to come conjugates exactly like „to go”. The infinitive form is \u10db\u10dd\u10e1\u10d5\u10da\u10d0<\/strong>, so even this is very similar to what we saw in the first one we learned today, so \u201cto go\u201d.<\/p>

The verb \u10db\u10dd\u10e1\u10d5\u10da\u10d0<\/strong> is used when you want to say that someone moves (on foot or any other means of transport on the ground) in the direction of person speaking or the direction where our story takes place. So almost exactly like verb \u201cto come\u201d in English.<\/p>

How does the conjugation of this verb look like in present tense?<\/p>

\u10db\u10d4 \u10db\u10dd\u10d5\u10d3\u10d8\u10d5\u10d0\u10e0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10e8\u10d4\u10dc \u10db\u10dd\u10d3\u10d8\u10ee\u10d0\u10e0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10d8\u10e1 \u10db\u10dd\u10d3\u10d8\u10e1<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10e9\u10d5\u10d4\u10dc \u10db\u10dd\u10d5\u10d3\u10d8\u10d5\u10d0\u10e0\u10d7<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10d7\u10e5\u10d5\u10d4\u10dc \u10db\u10dd\u10d3\u10d8\u10ee\u10d0\u10e0\u10d7<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong>\n

\u10d8\u10e1\u10d8\u10dc\u10d8 \u10db\u10dd\u10d3\u10d8\u10d0\u10dc<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>

Isn\u2019t it just great how similar those are? You just change the prefix (because you change the direction of the movement) and the rest remains exactly the same. That\u2019s an another benefit of learning similar verbs and schemas connected with them.<\/p>

So there\u2019s nothing left but the examples of sentences with Georgian verbs of movement.<\/p>

How do the Georgian verbs of movement look like in sentences?<\/h2>

I have chosen for you 3 constructs most often used with today\u2019s verbs. Each of the suffixes we\u2019ll use below will have soon a separate article, so now we won’t focus a lot on those as such.<\/p>

I go to Tbilisi in Georgian<\/h3>

The most typical sentences and one of the easiest you can create with today\u2019s verbs. This sentence is created by adding –\u10e8\u10d8<\/strong> to the name of the place, so<\/p>

\u10db\u10d4 \u10d7\u10d1\u10d8\u10da\u10d8\u10e1\u10e8\u10d8 \u10db\u10d8\u10d5\u10d3\u10d8\u10d5\u10d0\u10e0.<\/strong><\/p>

I go to Tbilisi. In Georgian we do not have to add the personal pronouns, because you know the person already by the verb\u2019s form. In our articles here we add very often though, just to help you distinguish the new verbs.<\/p>

How to ask: Where do you go? It will look like that: \u10e1\u10d0\u10d3 \u10db\u10d8\u10d3\u10d8\u10ee\u10d0\u10e0?<\/strong> And the question about bus from the title of today\u2019s article will look like that: \u10d4\u10e1 \u10d0\u10d5\u10e2\u10dd\u10d1\u10e3\u10e1\u10d8 \u10e1\u10d0\u10d3 \u10db\u10d8\u10d3\u10d8\u10e1?<\/strong><\/p>

I go to Batumi by car in Georgian<\/h3>

The second, very useful phrase about the means of transport you may go with. What you need to say it is the 5th<\/sup> case of Georgian noun. This case shows by using what you conduct some actions. So the whole sentence looks like this:<\/p>

\u10d1\u10d0\u10d7\u10e3\u10db\u10e8\u10d8 \u10db\u10d0\u10dc\u10e5\u10d0\u10dc\u10d8\u10d7 \u10db\u10d8\u10d5\u10d3\u10d8\u10d5\u10d0\u10e0.<\/strong><\/p>

As you may see, we have already used new piece of information from the previous sentence. This is also a great way to study Georgian \u2013 connecting the new with what you already learned. So how would the question \u201cHow (by what) do you go?\u201d. Here you need additional word – \u10e0\u10d8\u10d7<\/strong> – \u10d1\u10d0\u10d7\u10e3\u10db\u10e8\u10d8 \u10e0\u10d8\u10d7 \u10db\u10d8\u10d3\u10d8\u10ee\u10d0\u10e0?<\/strong><\/p>

I go from Kutaisi in Georgian<\/h3>

Let\u2019s look at the last sentence for today, so „going from somewhere”. To create a phrase like this you need – \u10d8\u10d3\u10d0\u10dc<\/strong> suffix which you add to the name of the place. So the above mentioned sentence in Georgian will be as follows:<\/p>

\u10e5\u10e3\u10d7\u10d0\u10d8\u10e1\u10d8\u10d3\u10d0\u10dc \u10db\u10d8\u10d5\u10d3\u10d8\u10d5\u10d0\u10e0.<\/strong><\/p>

The corresponding question will be \u10e1\u10d0\u10d8\u10d3\u10d0\u10dc \u10db\u10d8\u10d3\u10d8\u10ee\u10d0\u10e0?<\/strong><\/p>

I leave you with the small exercise in the end. Try to create your own sentence using all 3 constructs. You can send it to me via e-mail \u2013 sing up to our newsletter Caucasian mail<\/a> and reply to the welcome e-mail. Then I can check it for you and send you feedback. Also let us know if you like Georgian verbs of movement!<\/p>
