Transitive Verbs VS Intransitive Verbs in Georgian
Transitive verbs have direct objects and intransitive verbs don’t.
There are two types of intransitives in Georgian: passive and medial.
Georgian dynamic passive verbs have three groups:
- a) Prefix-produced,
- b) Suffix-produced and
- c) Unmarked.
The first group is produced by the prefix “ი-” for one personal verbs – ვიმალები (“I am hiding”) and by the prefix “ე-“ for two-personal verbs – ვემალები (“I am hiding from somebody”).
