Hi Georgian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to use the verb "be" in Georgian. We will look at the conjugation of the verb and how it is used in different contexts.
The verb "be" in Georgian is იყოს (ikos). It is an irregular verb, which means that it does not follow the same conjugation pattern as other verbs. The conjugation of the verb "be" in Georgian is as follows:
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| I | მე ვიყო (me vikos) | ჩვენ ვიყოთ (čven vikote) |
| You | თქვენ ხართ (tqven xart) | თქვენ ხართ (tqven xart) |
| He/She/It | ის იყო (is ikos) | ისინი იყოთ (isin ikote) |
| We | ჩვენ ვიყოთ (čven vikote) | ჩვენ ვიყოთ (čven vikote) |
| You (plural) | თქვენ ხართ (tqven xart) | თქვენ ხართ (tqven xart) |
| They | ისინი იყოთ (isin ikote) | ისინი იყოთ (isin ikote) |
The verb "be" is used in many different contexts. Here are some examples of how it is used:
- To describe a person's identity:
Person 1: რა ხარ? (ra xar?) - What are you? Person 2: მე მაგისტრი ვიყო. (me magistri vikos) - I am a teacher.
- To describe a person's location:
Person 1: სად ხარ? (sad xar?) - Where are you? Person 2: მე საქართველოში ვიყო. (me sakartveloshi vikos) - I am in Georgia.
- To describe a person's occupation:
Person 1: რა მუშაობს? (ra muxaobas?) - What do you do? Person 2: მე მაგისტრი ვიყო. (me magistri vikos) - I am a teacher.
