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!
=== Introduction to Compound Prepositions ===


In Georgian, prepositions are crucial for conveying relationships in time and space. While simple prepositions are vital, compound prepositions allow us to express more intricate ideas and emotions.

For instance, while a simple preposition like "on" is useful, a compound preposition like "on top of" provides a clearer picture of the relationship between objects. In Georgian, mastering these compound forms will give you the ability to articulate your thoughts more richly and accurately.
== 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.
=== List of Common Compound Prepositions ===


Here are some examples of Georgian compound prepositions:
