== Types of Compound Prepositions ==
Compound prepositions in Georgian are formed by combining two or more simple prepositions. These combinations create new prepositions that carry specific meanings and functions. In this section, we will explore some common types of compound prepositions and their usage.
=== 1. Spatial Compound Prepositions ===
Spatial compound prepositions in Georgian are used to indicate the location or position of an object in relation to another object. They are formed by combining simple prepositions such as "მიმართულება" (towards), "გადასვლა" (across), "გადატანა" (beyond), and more.
For example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Georgian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-

|-
| გადასვლით გადატანით || gadasmliṭ gadatanit || beyond

=== 2. Temporal Compound Prepositions ===
Temporal compound prepositions in Georgian are used to indicate time and duration. They are formed by combining simple prepositions such as "მერე" (after), "წინ" (before), "მდე" (until), and more.
For example:
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| მერე სამი წუთის განმავლობაში || mere sami c̣uṭis ganmavlobaṣi || after three minutes
|-

Causal compound prepositions in Georgian are used to indicate cause and effect relationships. They are formed by combining simple prepositions such as "გამომყენებით" (because of), "რადგან" (since), "მიტანამდე" (until), and more.


As a Georgian language teacher with 20 years of experience, I am excited to teach you about compound prepositions in Georgian. Prepositions are essential in every language and using them correctly can make a big difference in your communication. Compound prepositions are formed by combining a simple preposition with another word to make a new meaning. Let’s dive in!

=== 4. Instrumental Compound Prepositions ===
== What are compound prepositions? ==


Compound prepositions are made by combining two or more words to create a preposition that expresses a more specific meaning. These words can be nouns, adjectives or verbs. In Georgian, compound prepositions usually come after the word they modify.
Instrumental compound prepositions in Georgian are used to indicate the means or instrument by which an action is performed. They are formed by combining simple prepositions such as "ხელით" (by hand), "პირით" (by mouth), "თანაცარიელით" (by oneself), and more.


Here are some examples of Georgian compound prepositions:
For example:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Georgian !! Pronunciation !! English
! Georgian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
|-
| შემდეგ მარჯვნივ || shemdeg marjvniv || to the right
| ხელით დასკვნით || xeliṣiṭ daskwniṭ || by touching with the hand
|-
|-
| ლაპარაკებს ზემოთაა || laparakebs zemotaa || above the conversation
| პირით ლაპარაკობს || piriṣiṭ laparac̣obs || by speaking with the mouth
|-
|-
